This has been resolved by Vitaly: a question of ordering in the dot file.

I must have been fooled by:
- my prefix key that did not work,
- the Ubuntu GDM logo staying much longer than normal,
as it now works. Though, I did not see any mode-line... but OK let's forget
it.

I can switch between 2 different StumpWM just by playing in the
`stumpwm.desktop' file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=StumpWM
Comment=This session logs you into StumpWM (a minimalistic window manager)
Exec=/usr/local/bin/stumpwm
Icon=
Type=Application
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

- `Exec=/usr/local/bin/stumpwm' for the one I compiled (0.9.7-git)
- `Exec=/usr/bin/stumpwm' for the one I compiled (version of 20 May 2009, if I
  remember good)

Everything works the same in both, except displaying my "system tray"
(`stalonetray', that I use for `network manager' and `mail-notification').

Within StumpWM 0.9.7 that I compiled yesterday on top of SBCL, I get the
following error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Error In Command 'select-window-by-number 0': ID 0 from
display #<XLIB:DISPLAY :0 (The X.Org Foundation R10604000)> should have been a
XLIB:WINDOW, but was #<XLIB:PIXMAP :0 0>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Any idea why?

Best regards,
  Seb
