The icewm package worked well in BL3.4, but I did not install it in BL3.5 
because jwm has such a nice menu.  jwm works badly with my 84-key keyboard 
and does not automatically change focus when you open a new window (this 
version, newer ones do) or let you exit normally without a mouse 
(Ctrl-Alt-Backspace turns off one of my computers by Aopen).  Steven, how 
difficult would it be to make a BL3.5 icewm package with the same menu 
setup as jwm?  Or even a script to convert, in case people have added 
programs to jwm menu?
