If you select the "default" option in kdm to start X you would have to
add the script to your ~/.xinitrc. (See man xinit and man startx.)
Just make sure to background the script (i.e. script &) and put it
before the 'exec icewm' line or your WM will wait for the script to
finish or the script will be run AFTER your x-session.
Usefull HOWTO's are the XWindow System Architecture Overview HOWTO and
the XWindow-User HOWTO.
