I think I have this problem? But like Benjamin, it has also been a very long 
time since I addressed it. In my profiles, I include:

                 "stumpwm"
                 "sbcl-stumpwm-kbd-layouts"
                 ;; net module has this unacknowledged dependency
                 "sbcl-cl-ppcre"
                 "sbcl-stumpwm-net"
                 "sbcl-stumpwm-pass"
                 "sbcl-stumpwm-stumptray"
                 "sbcl-stumpwm-swm-gaps"
                 "sbcl-stumpwm-ttf-fonts"

and I don't seem to have any problem. I start it from lightdm, and I don't 
think that's doing anything special.

Probably in my case some of the modules are including the missing dependencies.

I hope that helps somehow.
