It is not icewm-gnome that restarts your processes. It is gnome-session
which is  usually the last command in .xsession. This handles many
features such as sound settings, desktop settings, etc. Just take a look
in Settings/Startup Programs from you gnome panel system menu. You could
add all these system setting into your .xsession file and remove
gnome-session, or I just usually shut down all processes running on each
desktop before I shut down my X session.

Hope this helps,
