I would recommend starting X but not starting stumpwm. You can start
an xterm instead to keep X running. Then from a console load sbcl,
asdf, then asdf load stumpwm, then start stumpwm with
(stumpwm::stupmwm ":0"). Then switch to X, get stumpwm spinning,
switch back to the console, hit C-c to drop to the debugger and type
backtrace to get a backtrace. then send that backtrace here.

If anyone knows a better way to get such a backtrace, I'd love to hear it.

C-t ; mode-line should bring it up. That doesn't work for you?
