IceWM is so good that I don't know why one would want to install
something on top of it. IceWM is still available, and it's still
ultra-low memory. And AFIAK, its start menu is still a pile of crap
that doesn't always add newly installed packages, and is a royal pain
to edit by hand.

BUT...

Today we have dmenu and UMENU2, so a WM-provided start menu isn't all
that necessary. Just make the start menu run a choice of dmenu or
UMENU2.
