Nice.

My pleasure :-)

As a side note, I was quite distressed to find that the Wikipedia page for
clfswm had been deleted recently. Reading the comments, it seems that the
editors are up to their usual tricks. However, once we get more blog posts
out there, an article or two, and with the great page on
common-lisp.netfor clfswm, we should be able to get a page back up
there that doesn't get
a delete-reaction. It would also be good to get us added to the various
wiki pages that compare tiling window managers.

Anyway, more on that later -- for now, I need to improve my clfswm chops ;-)

And nice work, everyone!
