This is a problem with recent versions of SBCL which unfortunately, has
had the periodic polling functionality removed. You need to start a main
loop with (gtk:main), run under Slime (with *communication-style* set to
nil) or init clg with multi-threading (clg-init-with-threading). The
later isn't without its share of problems.
