Meh, I would mess with stumpwm a bit more, but I've never been a lisp
person.  Sure it's a great language and I fully agree with whatever
that quote was, that "after sufficient extension, all languages tend
toward lisp" or something to that effect.

Maybe it's just something I need to mess with more, but as it stands,
the lispy-emacsy part makes me a tad leary or doing anything complex
with stump.  On the same side of the coin, I'm not a huge fan of
creating small scripting languages for simple tasks - maybe one could
work in lisp support inside ratpoison?  Just musing here...

Anyway nothing important to say... thanks for RP
