Our function keys just work, I've not fiddled for a while, but it was trivial
(there are even some sequences to turn the keys on for HP terms, where they
are normally off)
To run an xterm
.xsession (chmod +x !)
xterm -geometry blah
To run an icewm with an xterm and background
.xsession
icewmbg &
xterm -geometry bla &
icewm
To run kde
.xsession
startkde
