This did not work either.  Do you want to experiment in killing processes 
via the icewm menu?

I was able to reboot via the menu, from a setup which goes directly into X 
on boot and back to it when I hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (and I think also 
Ctrl-Alt-Del, not sure).  prog "reboot" xterm rxvt -e /sbin/reboot

Does reboot do something different from Ctrl-Alt-Del?
In our Emachine, the latter sometimes worked when the former did not after 
we tried to upgrade to a faster bus speed.  (We put it back to 333MHz).
