I could choose another desktop environment, but it seems
like overkill, especially because icewm with custom
menus does everything that the target user needs.

I forgot to mention, I also found that I can see a lot
of mouse cursors by running:

% xfd -fn cursor

Now, to be able to select and resize them would be grand.
