[STUMP] Stumpwm won't start

[Paul R. Bernard]

I'm using (on gentoo linux):

stumpwm HEAD is now at 9d6cb38 bump version to 0.9.7-git
sbcl 1.0.19
cl-clx 0.7.1
xorg 7.2

At startup I receive the following error and backtrace:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
stumpwm

debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR:
  There is no applicable method for the generic function
    #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION STUMPWM::SCREEN-MESSAGE-CC (1)>
  when called with arguments
    (NIL).

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):

I have no previous experience with SBCL, CLX or even X11 programming
interfaces.  I don't know what's wrong.  (It looks like it's complaining
about the font, but I'm not sure.)  In searching the mailing list I
found one other report and suggestions which I've tried, with no
success.

One suggestion was:

>The solution is to edit primitives.lisp and change this line:
>
>(defparameter +default-font-name+ "9x15bold")
>
>to
>
>(defparameter +default-font-name+ "*")

It didn't help (I did remember to compile).

The other was to run this bit of code and report:

===========================================================================
(require 'clx)
(let ((display (xlib:open-default-display))) (prog1
(xlib:list-font-names display "*" :max-fonts 1) (xlib:close-display
display)))
===========================================================================
I get:

("-b&h-luxi mono-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-adobe-standard")

And with "9x15bold" I get:

("9x15bold")

It seems logical to me.  But still it doesn't work.

I note with interest that the other person having trouble was also using
Gentoo.

May I have a hint please?
