Something spawned by the window manager (on some strange keypress/mouse
button) might be a good candidate for  the strange window. 

However, icewmtray might be  the "taskbar" or something like that, since 
"man icewm" says: "icewm-session  will invoke all needed programs like
icewmbg (background configurator) and icewmtray."

rox is a file manager:

<$>   zgrep bin/rox ~/ftp.it.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian4.0r3/Contents-i386.gz
usr/bin/rox          x11/rox-filer
usr/bin/rox-filer           x11/rox-filer

apt-cache show rox-filer

as "ps fax" showed, it is a kernel thread, so it cannot be drawing a window

next time you might run this script:

#!/bin/sh
ps fax>~/ps_fax.pre # or "pstree -Aaplun" instead of "ps fax"
xkill # then quickly kill the window
ps fax>~/ps_fax.post
diff ~/ps_fax.pre ~/ps_fax.post
