That's what i currently try to do as well, but somehow the
background color doesn't get set (or some other part of slime
overwrites it ...). I can manually set the background color without
any problems.
Also, i couldn't find a way to get rid of the modeline. I tried
to add '(has-modeline-p . nil) to slime-typeout-frame-properties but
that doesn't seem to work (i'm using CVS Emacs).

Any ideas?
