I just checked packaging ratpoison, then installing both in Slint to check.

No issue with Openbox, just typing as regular user from Mate:
openbox ---replace & |Don't forget the '&' after the command if youtype it in a terminal else killing it with 
leave Mate without a window manager.

No way for ratpoison. It has no such option, and  trying to start it gives:
ratpoison: There can be only ONE.

More generally the ability of using another window manager that marco, replacing it, depends on the window 
manager itself.

The replacement works with fvwm2 and kwin, but both have accessibility issues.

I doesn't work with wmaker, blackbox, fluxbox, twm

Of course you can also use compiz, but that's most probably not what you want.

However, marco and compiz have the best integration in the Mate desktop.

Best,
Didier
