I'm using it, and it works quite well. I like the way messages are
handled, and I actually use it for display of status messages when
certain things change. For example, I have a program (auctl) for controlling
audio settings in my Sparc Station, and that program is bound to some
keys in my keyboard. I run auctl with the "verbose" flag, so that when
I press one of the corresponding keys, I get a short message telling
me what it's doing. It's great for getting feedback.

The only thing I haven't been able to explain is that sometimes the
messages appear at the top of the screen, and sometimes at the bottom.
Any ideas as to why this happens?

I have changed the "LogoutCommand" setting in icewm to run "rox-session",
so that it's now nicely integrated with my window manager.

I haven't used the login auto-run-programs feature, mostly because I
like to have precise control over what and when is run. But other than
that it seems to work beautifully.
