Hello!

I'm the StumpWM Debian maintainer, in case someone doesn't know ;-)

Please, for any Debian-specific problem, use the Debian Bug Tracking
System at [1].

You should decide which Common Lisp (from now on, CL) implementation
you want to use and then installing the necessary packages:

- CMUCL (not present on amd64, though) with cmucl-source

- SBCL with cl-clx-sblc (this is my advice, what I use everyday)

- CLisp (but StumpWM from CVS doesn't work with CLips-2.41 compiled
  with NEW-CLX, which is the one Debian provides on most
  architectures)

CL-Launch and Emacs21 aren't needed at all: the former is useful if
you want to create a CL script, the second one if you want to connect
to the running CL through SLIME [2].

Have you read /usr/share/doc/stumpwm/README.Debian [3]?  It contains
information about how to start StumpWM.  When installing a package on
Debian, please always first refer to the Debian documentation and then
to the upstream one.

There's an open Debian bug about how to start StumpWM for CL newbies,
it's bug #356948 [4].  As you can read at [5], I'm working on a
solution for bug #356948 and a new Debian package is expected in the
next two weeks.

Thx, bye,
