Summary: alt+space menu hangs the machine completely

Initial Comment:
The app menu called down by Alt+Space hangs the machine completely (no reaction to keys and no ) after the next mouse click whenever on the screen, even in the said menu. Even the previously detached (sleep some and killall -9 icewm) has no effect (never fires). The mouse cursor moves freely and does nothing and retains its pre-hang form. No program updates its window. The HD LED blinks from time to time, and the CPU cooling fan starts after some time of such (non)activity.


Playing with preferences (included) was to no avail.

I was trying this on dell latitude 100l (gfx intel 852) and slackware 12.1. Icewm was 1.2.35 binary, installed from either of two binaries, icewm-1.2.35-i486-1kan or icewm-1.2.35-i486-1sl.
