I had the same problem, and (IIRC) the problem was that some of the option names changed between versions of icewm. I'm not on my debian box, so I may be remembering some details incorrectly. There are docs in /usr/doc/icewm, I believe. In ~/.icewm/preferences, instead of the "AddWorkspace" option, I now use something like: WorkSpaceName "First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth" (or whatever you want to call them). I don't remember getting errors on "ShowXButton" or "WindowListFontName", apparantly more than just the workspace name options has changed. HTH, Kirk
