I've moved to Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) which does not have the problem.

Title:
  Cannot start icewm from the login page

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  When I select icewm or IceWM from the login screen and enter my password the screen goes black, and the
  login screen restarts.  I get the following in my .xsession-errors:

  /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
  Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_US.
  Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default.

  XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
        after 136 requests (131 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
  XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0"
        after 129 requests (129 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
  XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0"
        after 122 requests (122 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
  icewmbg: Can't open display: :0. X must be running and $DISPLAY set.

  However if I select blackbox from the gdm login screen it will start, and then I can rightclik and from the
  logout menu select to start icewm.  Icewm will then come up correctly.

  My system was updated today 11-Apr-2011 and:
