Or from a debian root shell I think you can just launch xpice... although this discussion probably ought to move to the "technical" one.. since qole is redirecting me there as well

I would really recommend making a copy of xpice, call it xpwm or something, so you can run IceWM or WindowMaker as you wish.

Then you can make another menu item for WindowMaker.

But yes, please, further discussion at this level should be in the "techie" thread. I would love to discuss what WM to include in the next version over there, especially if you have strong emotions about why I should ditch IceWM in favour of another...
