Title: My Stumpwm config on OpenBSD

Description: 

I want to talk about _stumpwm_, a window manager written in Common
LISP. I think one must at least like emacs to like stumpwm. Stumpwm is
a tiling window manager one which you create "panes" on the screen
like windows on Emacs. A single pane takes 100% of the screen, then
you can split it into 2 panes vertically or horizontally and resize
it, and you can split again and again. **There is no "automatic"
tiling**. By default, if you have ONE pane, you will only have ONE
window displayed, this is a bit different that others tiling wm I had
tried. Also, virtual desktops are named groups, nothing special here,
you can create/delete groups and rename it. Finally, stumpwm **is not
minimalistic**.

To install it, you need to get the sources of stumpwm, install a
common lisp interpreter (sbcl, clisp, ecl etc...), install quicklisp
(which is not in packages), install the quicklisp packages cl-ppcre
and clx and then you can compile stumpwm, that will produce a huge
binary which embedded a common lisp interpreter (that's a way to share
common lisp executables, the interpreter can create an executable from
itself and include the files you want to execute). I would like to
make a package for OpenBSD but packaging quicklisp and its packages
seems too difficult for me at the moment.

Here is my config file in ~/.stumpwmrc.

I use a function to get latency from a script that is started every 20
seconds to display the network latency or nil if I don't have internet
access.

I use rxvt-unicode daemon (urxvtd) as a terminal emulator, so the
terminal command is urxvtc (for client), it's lighter and faster to
load.

I also use a weird "alt+tab" combination:

- Alt+tab switch between panes 
- Alt+² (the key above tab) circles windows in the current pane 
- Alt+Shift+Tab switch to the previous windows selected
