I you have a video card that can be accelerated under one of the other X
servers (like SVGA) I'd use that. Last I looked, the fbdev X server
didn't do accelleration, which really dogs the system.

Shouldn't that line be:
panel &

But, you need to do 'gnome-name-service &' first.

You weren't trying to do that from an su'ed terminal, now were you?

Try a .xinitrc (.xsession) like:

#!/bin/sh
xterm &
esd &
gnome-name-service &
panel &
exec icewm 

You can set-up all the gnome stuff and use the session manager from the
panel. Then you can change .xinitrc (--> .xsession) to

#!/bin/sh
exec gnome-session
