Bug#960205: stumpwm: Panels do not work as documented https://stumpwm.github.io/1.0.0/stumpwm-1.0.0_7.html#Mode_002dline

[Bill Hay <wish@dumain.com>]

Package: stumpwm
Version: 2:1.0.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I launched the lxqt desktop with stumpwm confiured as the window manager.
According to the stumpwm documentation this should cause the lxqt-panel
to replace the mode-line.  While the lxqt-panel did initially appear
it vanished almost immediately.  If I relaunched lxqt-panel it would
vanish whenever I switched between apps or otherwise invoked stumpwm
functionality.  Typing mode-line at the ":" prompt toggled stumpwm's
built in mode line rather than the lxqt-panel.

I have previously tried various other panels in combination with stumpwm
with similar results.

I strongly suspect that this upstream bug:
https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/issues/293 is the cause since v1.0.0
of stumpwm contains the commit which introduced the bug but not the
commit which fixed it.  The bug could therefore likely be remedied by
updating to the latest (19.11) version of stumpwm however even Debian
unstable only has version 1.0.0

Thanks for your maintenace efforts.

Bill
