[cells-gtk-devel] only works the first time

[Lelanthran Manickum]

Hello all

(I feel like an idiot for replying to my own mail,
but anyway ...)

After much experimenting, I find that gtk-ffi.lisp
has to be *recompiled* on every run (along with all
its dependencies.

I'm now trying to save a core/image file, but it cannot
be done (clisp complains about a foreign pointer from
a previous session that is invalid) and I assume that
foreign-pointers are not valid between sessions
(I, for one, cannot imagine a way for a C pointer
to be consistent between successive runs).

I'll experiment some more to find a way (sure it exists)
to save a corefile minus gtk-ffi and only reload
gtk-ffi on restarts (although it takes fairly long
to recompile - almost 20 seconds for only gtk-ffi; a
full compile takes a couple of minutes).
