I notice you are trying to get Jwm and Icewm to look like XP wouldn't it be much easier to start with something like NOP with Xfce4 which starts out looking XPish. with a very few tweaks Xfce will look very like what you want. ad the icons and wallpaper, change the start button, and voila! Xfce also has the advantage of the two paned file browser Thunar and the interactive control panel which though not XPish of itself will make sense to an XP user.
here is a link to an Xp theme at Xfce-look.org:

Certainly your way is another way to go...
To be honest with you, in the grand scheme of converting-xp'ers-to-puppy there may be more to customizing than to making it look like xp: I recently set up my wife's laptop with puppy, adding the pink icons and butterflies and such and, even after years of trying to convince her with the doesn't-it-look-like-xp concept, she suddenly was an instant convert.
From my own experience with my ex-girl friends...It does not matter if it is a red hat a debian a windows 2000 or windows seven...
All they want is pinkie desktops and little hearts flowing bouncing all over the desktop//
