Our emails crossed! I have both IceWM _and_ idesk running correctly. \0/ Just out of interest, and because it would obviously be easy to reverse, I uncommented startx in .bash_profile. I then rebooted. And I have a fully operational system, but for that error message, so something is still not right - but hey, the presenting problem has been solved. So if you want to breathe a sigh of relief and bring the shutters down, I shall still be greatly indebted to you. But if you have the stamina, and enough of the will to live, I would love to sort it out properly.
