Thanks everyone for the help.
I like the %d tip, and now I'm using this in my .stumpwmrc...
;; modeline format
(setf *time-modeline-string* "%a %b %e %k:%M")
(setf *screen-mode-line-format*
(list "[^B%d^b]"
" | %B"
" | [^B%n^b] %W"))
Working great so far.
I used lsof to learn that stumpwm had opened quite a few files, but firefox had
even more!
