On Arch Linux up to date, clisp 2.49, no clue for CLX, and clfswm GIT.
I don't use xcompmgr, and I have a toolbar.

No toolbar is a curiosity to me; you always have a watch on your wrist
or something? ? this is my only use of a toolbar, as I did not manage
to put a systray there, my stalonetray is still floating around and
not really usable.

I'd love to investigate.  I'm spending hours here and there, hoping I
can manage by myself to make CLISP spit out some useful information,
but I've rarely been so frustrated using a framework I don't know at
all.  So would you have a few minutes to give me a recipe for having a
trace, say of all CLFSWM functions entry? That would start our
debugging journey pretty well.

As for the `top` trace, well, it just says that CLFSWM uses 100% CPU
for 5 seconds and then makes the switch.  Nothing really usable.

Well, it's no faster, but at least it comes into focus when it pops in :-)

I was expecting that :-)  Thanks!

Subject: [Clfswm-devel] cant get clfswm compiled/installed
Message-ID: <87k35r5w57.fsf@mars.lan>

I think gnus (my mail client) ate my last message or I used the wrong
command so I try it again:

I am pretty impressed by clfswm I want to play around with it. But
neither I can get it compiled under fedora nor under archlinux.

I tried clisp and cmucl but did not help on that matter, in archlinux I
even used the script from AUR, so I dont really get what I am making
wrong, I had similiar problems with stumpwm and could not get it
compiled too.

here the relevant output:

Hope u can help me I love emacs and I love everything that goes in that
direction, great work :)
