Definitely.  I always use clisp/new-clx for clfswm and stumpwm.

Well, it's not clfswm, it's conkeror.  If you have a gmail accout,
please open the standard ui in conkeror and use it.  Conkeror will
freeze after a few minutes.

I've tested on cmucl.  Here is my conclusion:

clisp/new-clx

- Perfect.

sbcl/portable-clx

- Conkeror freezes when viewing gmail
- Iceweasel freezes when view flash.

cmucl/cmu-clx

- Conkeror freezes when viewing gmail.

Will never test.  Unportable solution sucks.  We have too many CLX.
