Hm, have you tried if same xstartup worked with older version of
tigervnc? I think it didn't work as well.

AFAIK you have to run icewm via "icewm-session" command:

$ cat ~/.vnc/xstartup
...
#xsetroot -solid grey
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
icewm-session &

After that everything should work fine.
