Click the Pet Install icon on desktop
icewm-1.3.2 is under "Puppy 4" and "Desktop"
In the words of Ricky of Trailer Park Boys fame, "It's not rocket appliances" for goodness sake.

AFAIK, no icon is supposed to appear on the desktop.
You'll need to click the "console" desktop icon and type: fixmenus
To test your icewm installation:
click menu > shutdown > exit to prompt
at prompt, type: xwin icewm
You should then get the icewm desktop.
click menu > logout > confirm logout "ok"
at prompt, type: reboot
computer should reboot with icewm
ODDITY: computer doesn't shutdown as in JWM. Must manually type "poweroff" @ command prompt after logout of icewm

I've found the installation of icewm far from seamless in Puppy v4.3.1. I'm writing something up on this. The wiki doesn't seem to have anything on this, so I might start a page for it.
In the meantime, do any users, preferrable icewm-heads, have any forum links on this?

Use the forum search feature for "icewm themes"
Search Google for "puppy icewm themes"

Try "xwin jwm" or "xwin icewm" (without the quotes, of course). See if either of those work.
If not, try "xorgwizard" and reconfigure.

Reboot after xwin jwm: missing desktop, missing icons.
Unable to run xwin icewm, return to prompt w/o open desktop.
Xorgwizard done as before but w/o retults.
What's wrong?
