Silly me ... never mind. All i had to do was
reboot, and the problem went away. Now i can
start either jwm or icewm.

But i still have to switch by editing .xinitrc.
What code can i put in there to get a menu to
choose between the two when i "startx"? 

Or perhaps the simple way is to have an argument
after "startx" at the command line?
