I found that when I did the same thing on my Fedora Core 4 box, there
were some errors on closing Xmaxima, but the tk window did at least
close.
In Core 6, it would hang and not close.
So, my guess is that there are problems in the new Fedora Core 6
package that cause the issue. I'll wait awhile and see if the newer
versions of SBCL fix this problem. In the mean time, I'll send the
errors to them.
Thanks for the information.
