This appears to be the offending line in my .guile-wm, as whenever i comment it out I can get guile-wm to start up:

(set! (root-key) 'F20)

Have you mapped a key to F20 with xmodmap? This error would happen if X doesn't associate any key with F20.

@olsonjeffery - Did you manage to fix the backtrace with mapping the key?

I found when I used guile-wm that I could comment out the line: (set! (root-key) 'F20) and use the C-t binding as the root key instead. Perhaps that would work for you?

Perhaps we can close this issue?
