This sounds like a good idea, and I'll add a keyword argument to spawn
a new process later today. If you can't wait until tomorrow, this bit
of code should do the trick, albeit in a slightly ugly way, now and
forevermore:

(clim-sys:make-process #'(lambda () (inspector obj))
			   :name "Inspector Clouseau")

Where OBJ is the object you want to inspect.
