First of all, DEFINE-KEY would just override any previous bindings, so
you don't need to first UNDEFINE-KEY them. Now onto the problem.
Calling UNDEFINE-KEY removes the binding from the specified keymap, but
the binding on " doesn't come from *ROOT-MAP*. It is defined in
*GROUP-ROOT-MAP*, which isn't exported from the STUMPWM package (The
default binding on w is also defined in *GROUP-ROOT-MAP*, so the first
UNDEFINE-KEY doesn't actually work either). If it's important for the
binding to be removed you could specify STUMPWM::*GROUP-ROOT-MAP* in
place of *ROOT-MAP* of the second call to UNDEFINE-KEY. Alternatively
you could submit a pull request for *GROUP-ROOT-MAP* and possibly some
of the group-specific keymap symbols to be exported from the STUMPWM
package.

UNDEFINE-KEY is basically not needed anymore, because DEFINE-KEY with a
COMMAND argument of NIL removes the binding. UNDEFINE-KEY now does
exactly that.
