I just did ldd on swm, rxvt, icem, xterm:

swm and rxvt need libX11 (767K) and libXpm (61K)
icewm also needs libSM (37) libICE (88) and libXext (257)
xterm is a real library hog:  it needs all of the above other than libXpm 
PLUS:  Xaw (257) Xmu (86) Xt (343) Xext (257) ncurses and gpm

I thought Steven said the mouse driver came with X.  Maybe only with 
Xvesa.

I was able to edit the icewm menu to make an rxvt that looks a whole lot
like the xterm.

I will attempt to set up the next BL2 with icem and rxvt and install only 
the required X files, not entire packages.  swm is 350 smaller but I don't 
want to try compiling it or setting it up.

Steven, what should I change other than the menu, if I don't install 
xterm?  Are the xterm libraries needed for anything else?  Do I need any 
libraries not listed as being required for icewm, rxvt, or Xvesa, or 
Opera, when I do ldd?  Any other files besides fonts?
