I had the same problem, and (IIRC) the problem was that some of the
option names changed between versions of icewm.

I'm not on my debian box, so I may be remembering some details
incorrectly.  There are docs in /usr/doc/icewm, I believe.

In ~/.icewm/preferences, instead of the "AddWorkspace" option,
I now use something like:

  WorkSpaceName "First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth"

(or whatever you want to call them).

I don't remember getting errors on "ShowXButton" or
"WindowListFontName", apparantly more than just the workspace name
options has changed.

HTH,
