I don't have icewm. I want to run the stock wm that comes with BL. Just what 
you get when you issue startx on a BL
system where you've already gone through the resolution and mouse selection. 
That's what I mean by "normal." So, what's
the secret? Putting swm in place of icewm in the example doesn't work in the 
"normal" sense because swm requires that a
background be specified, and you get a crosshatched background doing that. My 
fiddling around to this point has not
resolved the matter.

Thanks,
