[STUMP] can't run stumpwm over ssh -X

[David O'Toole]

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.

> {AE3E789}>:

>  #(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
