This didn't give me a startup script, it gave me a binary:
rbash-2.05b$ type icewm
icewm is /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm
rbash-2.05b$ file /usr/X11R6/bin/icewm
/usr/X11R6/bin/icewm: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not
stripped
