A further clarification. After a fresh boot I get an initial login using icewm which works fine. If I logout and try to login again I just get a momentary black screen an a return to the login page. Hello, I'm partially AFK till the third week of may. I'll take care of it when I return. - Gilboa Since the bug also happens under Ubuntu Natty, I tried building the icewm 1.3 branch and it also failed. I traced the failure to icewmbg crashing the server when it is run. I submitted the bug upstream on sourceforge as: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3289566&group_id=31&atid=10003 Fedora 16 seems to work fine. OK Thanks. I tried several times to reproduce it but failed. - Gilboa icewm-1.3.7-1.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/icewm-1.3.7-1.fc16 icewm-1.3.7-1.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/icewm-1.3.7-1.el5 icewm-1.3.7-1.el6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 6. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/icewm-1.3.7-1.el6 icewm-1.3.7-1.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/icewm-1.3.7-1.fc15 icewm-1.3.7-1.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.

Created attachment 491861 [details] .xsession-errors from failed login Description of problem: When I select icewm from the login screen and login, the screen goes black, and then the login screen comes back Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 as of April 13, 2011 % uname -a Linux ecube.site 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 30 16:55:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. From login screen 2. Select username 3. Select icewm 4. Enter password 5. Select login Actual results: Screen goes black and login page reappears Expected results: Start up icewm session Additional info: The following .xsession-errors is produced. I looked at it by logging in on a console window after the failed login attempt. This same problem occurs in Ubuntu 11.4 (Natty) pre-release. Also: I added a xterm.desktop to the gdm login page. When i logged in with just a xterm window and just ran icewm-seesion the screen went black and I was back in the login page. With Natty this would bring up icewm.
