Apart from Shawn's comment (working on an Xnest and then "committing"
only the safest changes), I was also thinking of running Emacs (well,
screen starting Emacs, actually), but the major problem I found is
that detaching the screen session started by .xinitrc logs out from
X11.

Another solution would be to start stumpwm by an Emacs function (Emacs
started by .xinitrc: the major drawback is that you cannot restart
Emacs :-(

Maybe it's my tr knowledge, but I cannot obtain the same result (empty
lines added for better reading):

IMHO keeping Swank/SLIME stuff inside .stumpwmrc is better if you use
different lisps or different Swanks (let's say you want a Swank per
project you're working on).  But I agree that in an ideal world you'd
want only one Swank ;-)
