I'm using it with SuSE 8.1 and it's very fast to startup - hardly any gap
between logging in and the desktop appearing.

You have to go get it.
I wonder if a different version would make a difference to.

You have to edit the menu file located in one of 3 places,
/usr/local/share/icewm
/etc/icewm
/home/user/.icewm
The first entry is what the menu says,
the second is the icon and will be blank if the icon is not found
the third place is the executable and will not cause the menu item

IMHO the only logical explanation of your problem is that you changed
the configuration of your IceWM up to a point where you force it to
display gray text on a gray background! Or perhaps you ask it to use
the KnTrsVvpQqL11_3inch_very_well_hidden font which can only be
located by the server. ;-)

Thanks all for answering.
But the problem is slightly different :
A user logs in at the server console : login "test", pass "test"

This user logs out, goes to a LTSP workstation : same login, same pass.

It could be some sort of font problem. Maybe you need to copy your

Hi sorry for the vague answer.
But in the ltsp doc for Mandrake it talks about the xfont server (if I

allows connection thru a local socket. This should be changed (as
described in the manual). And also be changed in the ltsp c

As some of you told me, it was a font server problem.
XFree86_xfs is installed as a RPM
"service xfs status" says that the service is running.
But in fact no server is running. If I start xfs manually, icewm works
on the LTSP worksation :-)))
Thanks a lot to all of you.

Perhaps the color depth your server monitor can handle is out of reach
for your terminal. Who knows, maybe color #732AC5 is visible with a
color depth of 24bit, but not with 8bit. Try using a basic theme that
doesn't rely on a fancy color palette.

Gentlemen
If icewm works on the server, but not on the thin clients
then buggering around with menus will not help. The problem is with the
client, not with icewm

From a scientific viewpoint it naturally makes more sense to compare

I suppose I am just protective of KDE about misleading and inaccurate
statements. From a systems administrator's point of view, yes--if you
don't want to change to Caldera, it would be more practical to just use
ICEwm over the default configuration of RH, SuSE, or Mandrake's KDE or
GNOME.

There is a difference between a mistake and a lie. I read to quickly and
