can't run stumpwm over ssh -X |

I've finally decided to switch to stumpwm. I was happy with xmonad for
a short while, however:
1. it's not lisp and therefore i can't help develop extensions
2. you need to edit the Haskell source to configure *anything*, even
simple keybindings.
The default keybindings are horrible for emacs users, and after an
hour of trying to make it work a bit better, I decided: give me back
my Common Lisp!
Anyway I am having a showstopper bug with stumpwm (on SBCL).
This is what happens when I try to run stumpwm:
> X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
>
> debugger invoked on a END-OF-FILE in thread #<THREAD "initial thread"
> {AE3E789}>:
> end of file on #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "a socket" {AF0CCD1}>
>
> Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

> #(0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...)
> 0
> 8
> T)
the usual "xhost +" did not help.
I have had similar issues with common lisp and X forwarding, and so
have others. For example, when writing CL-FRAME, I had to use
(clx:open-default-display) to make it work over ssh.
Here are some (admittedly CMUCL-related, but possibly relevant) notes:
http://www.cons.org/cmucl/doc/clx-authorization.html
This is a big problem for me, because most of my work is done on a
laptop that is essentially a dumb terminal---all my files and
applications are on the server downstairs, and I use X-over-ssh for
everything (including the window manager.)
So until you help me, I am stuck with xmonad :(
BTW I am working on RLX again

I changed one line in stumpwm.lisp, recompiled, and now it works:
> ;; Usage: (stumpwm)
> (defun stumpwm (&optional (display-str (or (getenv "DISPLAY") ":0")) protocol)
> "Start the stump window manager."
> (multiple-value-bind (host display) (parse-display-string display-str)
> (setf *display* (xlib:open-default-display)
> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is obviously only a temporary fix, but at least it gets me
started using stumpwm so I can stop with the xmonad.
I hope this (and the links in my previous email) will help you
diagnose the problem... maybe a config option should allow you to make
stumpwm use (xlib:open-default-display) upon request.
