In startxwin.bat, replace the line with twm by a line calling icewm.
This
should help.
-----------------
Sorry, It's already icewm in startxwin.bat.
1/ I lauch startxwin.bat with icewm in it
2/ I modify the icewm config, then, I'd like to use this new config
3/ I ask icewm to restart the window manager
4/ Icewm stops and when it try to restart it says : A windows manger
already running, exiting.
With ps, I can't see any window manger running
I don't known how X server knows that there is a running window manager!
