Thanks. RH8.0 indeed does have a destop switching tool, but it seems to conflate desktop environments (gnome vs kde) and window managers (WindowMaker vs. twm). This left me feeling uncomfortable. Since I'm planning a migration from RedHat to gentoo or debian, I don't want to become reliant on gui utilities any more than I have to. If I were to reconfigure the desktop switcher to recognize icewm, I suspect it would be easier to modify a rc file to call icewm in the first place.
