I'm still trying to run down this issue.

Here's a recap of my crooked path to identify the problem.

Initial Problem:  Can't run WM like IceWM, however, kdm and KDE work fine.

Step 2:  Reinstall x11-base/xorg-server and
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel with splitdebug in entropy's client.conf.

Result:  X is now totally broken, and kdm won't start.

Step 3:  Disable splitdebug, and reinstall x11-base/xorg-server and
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel.

Result:  X is still totally broken.  KDM won't start.

Step 4:  Use portage to rebuild x11-base/xorg-server and all
x11-drivers/* packages

Result:  x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel won't build.  Fails looking for libxcb.la.

Step 5:  Rebuild x11-libs/libxcb

Result:  libxcb.la is still missing (this is a good thing).

Step 6:  Run revdep-rebuild.

Result:  About 12 packages are shown as needing revdep-rebuild.  I
decide to start with x11-libs/xcb-util-0.3.6.

Step 7:  Try again to rebuild x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel

Result:  x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel builds successfully, and XDM is
working again.

Step 8:  Run 'equo database spmsync' to let entropy know what I've done.

Result:  Entropy decides that 8 packages that are actually installed
aren't there, and removes them from it's database:

I have no idea why Entropy decided these packages were removed.  They
actually were installed.

Step 9:  Re-install the packages entropy decided where removed.

Result:  Installation went without issue, and XDM is still working.

Step 10:  Run 'equo world --ask' to re-install Entropy's version of
the packages built with portage.

Result:  XDM is working.  However, I was so excited to have any
progress after days of frustration, I forgot to test IceWM (the
original problem) in steps 7, 8, and 9.  I see the IceWM is still
broken.  So at least I've restored my system back to it's original
partially-broken state.

Conclusion:  No solutions yet, but several more mysteries added.
