Normal users are not allowed to shutdown the system
(that is too much power to give to an ordinary user).
The root user has that power. As does CTRL-ALT-DEL
from the console (if specified in /etc/inittab).
I suggest your normal user press CTRL-ALT-F4 (to return
to the console) and then press CTRL-ALT-DEL. Alternatively
(and this is probably cleaner) logout from icewm first and
then press CTRL-ALT-DEL.
Cheers,
Steven
