I had to change the following line in the preferences file:

# Bitmask of root window button click to use in window manager
UseRootButtons=0 # [0-255]

It was set to "255". I dont know if "0" is the right value, but at least it
works:
Now usual clicks produce gnome popups and ctrl-alt-clicks produce icewm
popups.
This is at least the behaviour i remember from the changelog of icewm.

Question: should icewm-gnome have a different preferences file than icewm?
