In ~/.icewm/preferences:

ShowTaskBar=0

I keep the IceWm task bar in AutoHide mode to switch windows and have the
the ROX panel at the top of the screen

As already said, start icewm and rox in ~/.xsession

#!/bin/sh
rox -p Default -b default &
exec icewm

and make it executable.

!!! This does not work, if you use an "Icewm" entry from the gdm menu.
You have to use the Default entry (hope, there is one;-)
