I think I managed at one point to get X in BL2 working without icewm or 
any other wm (I installed Bl2-X before the other X packages and had no wm) 
by typing xinit rxvt -fn ...... -e application  or maybe without the 
geometry specified.  I will experiment with this some time.  There is no 
xinit but startx might work the same.  

Or maybe just startx rxvt -fn ... & and then type in the program name?

Yes, thank you, except when I am stupid enough to delete the menu window 
but I can exit X and startx again.  I might suggest to the author(s) to 
add some keyboard method of making the menu pop up.  F2?  F1?
