Re: [STUMP] Problems loading swank

Hi,

First of all, StumpWM doesn't have a startup log. Output is normally
printed to *standard-output* (or *error-output*), so anything that gets
printed should show up in the terminal where X was started.

I would start debugging this as follows:

1. Adjust your .stumpwmrc to start Swank automatically, without using
   the   command. Just `(swank:create-server)` should be enough. Also
   disable the   command definition. (add `#+nil` before it)
2. Connect to the swank server from Emacs and switch to the stumpwm-
   user   package.
3. Try defining the command from the REPL. Perhaps you'll get a
   useful warning.
4. Try running the command from the REPL. Do any warnings show up there?

In this case I tried your command and for me it works perfectly, so I
don't know what the problem is. What CL implementation do you use? What
version of StumpWM is this?
