 Any particular applications affected ?  And was this problem in
icewm-1.3 ?

 I've _occasionally_ seen what might be a similar problem with
'gvolwheel' - the tray icon has sometimes vanished.  But I've no way
of triggering that problem, and I haven't seen it in my most recent
system builds.

 Undoubtedly there *are* bugs (as with all software), but most of
us don't see them (perhaps some depend on which optional
dependencies were used : I use 'optional' they way we do in BLFS
(http://www.linuxfromscratch.org), i.e. "it can be built without
these deps".
