Yes, that's my goal for the moment: compiling an error-free version of StumpWM
on Ubuntu 9.04, with:

    o   CLisp 2.48 (latest tarball), as CLisp seems (much) less memory-hungry
        than SBCL;

    o   new-clx, as mit-clx seems not supported.

I'm not expert at all on WM. That's why I can ask stupid questions, or be
confronted with stupid problems.

However, having already used StumpWM in the past, I love it, and I want it
back...

Nothing. That's because I had to test some change from Shawn, but had first to
reinstall StumpWM on my new Ubuntu (have reformatted my old laptop, and
installed 9.04 from scratch).

I hope it's much clearer now.

I can imagine. But IRC is forbidden here at work. And at home, things aren't
easy (with little daughter I've to take care of).

It's not a big problem for me if it takes some days for resolving my problems.
Knowing what I'll gain later makes me be patient...

Can we try to go on with this, then, by the means of the news (for now)?

Thanks,
  Seb
