Hello Haines,Im using IceWm as well from very few days and I simply run:
xinit /usr/local/bin/icewm --:0
from terminal when I'am here on my RHL-7.3 box,or even run:
icewm
which contains
#!/bin/sh
startx /usr/local/bin/icewm --:0
exit 0
from my job companion Compaq E500 running RHL8.0
By the way suggested documentation contains a lot of stuff for a more deep
customization of IceWM.
Best Regards
Marco
