I have been using icewm for ages and never had that message, but saw a few reports about it.

It seems that some font declaration on the '~/.icewm/preferences' file had something to do with it, but that's
all I can recall.

Take a look at '~/.xsession-errors', perhaps there is some more information.

thanks,but I can't find ~/.xsession-errors,why?

The xsession-errors file isnot a feature of icewm, it is generated when you login thru GDM, the Gnome Display Manager.

Probably you are using some other method to login. You can always do an 'ls -lat' immediately after logging in,
if there is some kind of log it should be at the top of the list.

Anyhow if as I somewhat recall that it has todo with fonts in the preferences file, perhaps look in there.

Of course there are a lot of definitions, f.e. I have:

grep -i font preferences

Apart from that it seems that the only problem is that the message is annoying but has not adverse consequences.
