You can create your own directory, say /etc/icewm.local, and you should be able to make $HOME/.icewm a symlink to it. # ln -s /etc/icewm.local $HOME/.icewm In case this doesn't work, symlink not to the dir but to the files, # ln -s /etc/icewm.local/preferences $HOME/.icewm/preferences and so on. -Andre
