Even though it's silly, I'm using the startup banner for my slime setup. That way I see confirmation that all the contrib modules I use were loaded, and the customization code I run has been executed. But I'm not seeing the banner now, and I'm not sure if it's been disabled or my startup routine has been broken by a recent slime upgrade.
Is slime-banner still working? Has the documentation been updated to show the bleeding edge instructions for startup and customization?

I can confirm it's still working. I usually have the animation turned off (it's quite slow on a 300mhz ppc) but the header-line is very useful when connecting to multiple inferiors.
Here's the relevant fragment from my .emacs:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/slime")) (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/slime/contrib"))
(require 'slime) ... (require 'slime-banner) ;(setq slime-startup-animation t) (setq slime-header-line-p t) (slime-banner-init)
Although you could use add-hook 'slime-load-hook if you wanted.

I doubt it. The manual seems to cover the "stable release" and not what's been going on in CVS.

Apparently this is what I was missing. I don't seem to have needed it before.

It works fine there now.

You can pass the contribs, you want to use, to `slime-setup' which will automatically call the -init function for you.
