I believe icewm-gnome "knows" when it's running under gnome session
management and automatically hides the taskbar. It's assumed that you'd
be using "panel". You can disable this behaviour in
~/.icewm/preferences but when I did so, the side effects were
undesirable. Personally, when I use IceWM under gnome, I use two panel
instaces. One is a bottome panel with launchers, applets, monitors,
etc. and the other is a corner panel that simply has the pager in it
(set to autohide). The set-up works pretty well.
