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.
