Hi Joel,

Good to see you in a more friendly climate!

If IceWM menus are easy to configure, that's a relatively new thing.
Back in the day you had to count spaces between the menu name and its
opening curly brace, and they switched from Icepref to some unrunnable
piece of junk.

That being said, IceWM is a *great* window manager. I think the reason
I always forget to tout it is this persistant, decade old FUD rumor
that it's abandoned.

I happily used IceWM for about four years, and loved it.
