[STUMP] StumpWM init file

[Jay Belanger]

I got StumpWM working on my Gentoo machine (Xavier Maillard's ebuild was a
big help) with sbcl 0.9.4.  I can start it two ways:
1) Start X with Emacs running, start slime in Emacs and enter
  (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'stumpwm)
  (stumpwm:stumpwm)
(Note that the README says (stumpwm: stumpwm "" :display 0), but that
gives me a wrong number of arguments error).
2) Start X with a stumpwm script containing
  #!/usr/bin/sbcl
 (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'stumpwm)
 (stumpwm:stumpwm)

I also have a .stumpwmrc file, which changes the prefix key to C-z and
changes the fonts and colors.  When I start StumpWM by method 1), the
prefix key changes but the fonts don't.  When I start StumpWM by
method 2), nothing changes.
Currently, I use method 2 with the script
  #!/usr/bin/sbcl
 (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'stumpwm)
 (load "/home/belanger/.stumpwmrc")
 (stumpwm:stumpwm)
but I don't think this extra line should be necessary.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Jay
