It is a config error. I removed the "~/.icewm/preferences" file and IceWM loaded
with all the widgets.  I have not yet found what in the "~/.icewm/preferences"
file causes it to hang (actually have not looked yet).
I think the fix here is, during the upgrade-install, to replace the current user
config file "~/.icewm/preferences" by changing the name to
'preferences-old_version' (or something like that...) so that the newly
installed default /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icewm/preferences file will be used. The
user will not get the user's custom config but IceWM will load/run/work. That's
better than having a user looking at a blank screen with no keyboard or mouse
control.

description: 
icewm-1.2.13-0.3.1mdk installed this morning runs but is completely unusable:
There is no taskbar/toolbar or any menus available; left, right and middle click
of the mouse buttons do nothing.  CTRL-ALT-BSPC is disabled or not
working(cannot quit X / icewm) requiring user to go to VC and kill the
icewm-session.  Oddly( since it is in the middle of the preferences file) the
"DesktopBackgroundImage" gets loaded but apparently nothing else. I waited ~ 2
minutes for IceWM to load the first time; normally it takes about 5 seconds to
load everything.

It worked before the 9->9.2 upgrade _and_ it was working with RC2 version(quite
nICEly I will add) before the new cooker version was installed.

Probably a config error somewhere(Ima-huntin) but the "upgrade" should not have
done that. 

Note that someone with only IceWM installed will not have a readily
available/usable X system if they get this bug too so I marked it "blocker".
