This is a bug in all CLX implementations. I've just committed a
workaround to stumpwm for sbcl that fixes this problem. Please update
and let me know if you still encounter it.

If you're using clisp, I'm in the process of getting it fixed in
clisp's new-clx. Because it's in C, I can't just re-defun fixed
versions of the functions, as I did for sbcl.

A similar fix could be made for clisp's mit-clx, but I doubt anyone
uses that.
