M-x load-library RET strokes RET
 
M-x strokes-global-set-stroke RET
 
That raises the error "Buffer is read-only". Bug #1.

That raises the error "Wrong type argument: window-configuration-p, nil. Bug #2.
 
Start over: emacs -Q, then, in buffer *scratch*:
 
M-x strokes-global-set-stroke RET
 
Trace a line with mouse-1 pressed, then click mouse-3. Enter a command
name, such as `copy-region-as-kill'.
 
The text that was in the *scratch* buffer is now gone, and replaced by
the single character `@'. (And there is no undo in this buffer.) Bug #3.
 
But at least the stroke got defined. So now we can use it, via
`S-mouse-2).
 
But the doc and commentary say that when you use a stroke (by dragging
S-mouse-2), you will see the stroke traced, provided that
`strokes-use-strokes-buffer' is non-nil. This is not true. At least on
Windows, I see nothing traced at all the *Strokes* buffer remains
visibly empty (whitespace) throughout. Bug #4.

All these bugs were due to a single oversight in
strokes-update-window-configuration.  I've just checked in a fix.
Thanks for the bug report.
