Please, check the last svn. Clfswm works with clisp-2.44.1 and new-clx
on my boxes.
Tell me what's wrong on your box.

Sadly there is no difference between a *features* with a mit-clx and a
new-clx. I think most distributions compile clisp with new-clx.

I do like I said here:

  http://trac.common-lisp.net/clfswm/wiki/BuildClisp

This way works both on my Archlinux/x86 and my Debian/ppc.
The last svn works with both mit-clx and new-clx on this two
machines.

My pkgbuild for archlinux is here:

  http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/clfswm/clfswm/PKGBUILD

It compile clfswm in a share directory and create a little startup
script which load clfswm with asdf.


--------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/clfswm-$pkgver/src
	cp -R $startdir/src/clfswm-$pkgver/* $startdir/pkg/usr/share/clfswm-$pkgver/src
	cd $startdir/pkg/usr/share/clfswm-$pkgver/src
	msg "Starting to build clisp image"
	clisp -m 4MB -E ISO-8859-1 -q -K full -i asdf.lisp -x "(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :clfswm)"

	mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/
	cat <<- EOF > $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/clfswm
#!/bin/sh

echo "Please, hit 'Alt F1' or 'Mod-1 F1' for help on clfswm."

cd /usr/share/clfswm-$pkgver/src/
clisp -m 4MB -q -q -K full -E ISO-8859-1 -i asdf.lisp -x "(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :clfswm) (setf clfswm::*have-to-compress-notify* t) (clfswm:main)"
	EOF

	chmod a+x $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/clfswm
--------------------------------------------------

The *have-to-compress-notify* is for the 0801 version with mit-clx.
