In the Lost Hobo King, the first downloadable expansion for Double Fine’s Stacking, players once again assume the role of Charlie Blackmore, the world’s smallest Russian stacking doll. Charlie travels with his hobo friend Levi to the mysterious kingdom of Camelfoot, the mythical resting place of lost hobo king and his crown. Charlie must help Levi’s uncle, Rufus Ryken, reclaim his rightful throne by solving three tests of valor and reawakening the hobo blacksmiths of old. Only then can the crown be reforged, enabling Rufus to become king and unite the fractured hobo people under one sardine. The Lost Hobo King features a complete adventure with several new challenges, each with multiple solutions, an all new assortment of unique dolls with engaging abilities, and a new round of hi-jinks to discover and make trouble with.

EDIT: My bad, it was actually Steam's fault: it ignores launch options (which are set in the properties of the games). I'm running Optimus so I have to use optirun. It works flawlessly when launched manually.
The part of the game I already played was very nice.
But I had to start sawfish in order to do so.
Sadly it is giving errors with xmonad.
Though double fine have activated my forum
account. I guess I go ask in the forum if anybody else
is having the same problem.
Edit:
I found a comfortable way to switch between wm's.

Can you please tell the readers, which system specs you have?
It's working for me but there are places where the game lags so much it's unplayable :/
According to Steam discussions I'm not the only one.
This is not working on my GNU/Linux machine. I have notified double fine and will update my rating if the game becomes usable.
