I have been running the stumpwm-cvs package in the gentoo portage
tree.  I am also using the latest stable sbcl in portage (which is
1.0.9) and clx 0.7.3.  I'll try getting the latest stumpwm first.

I still want to get it working with clisp later.  If I have trouble
I'll start a new thread.  Thanks for all your great help.
