I just installed icewm today (version 1.3.8)
the tray shows for a second then dissapears (though it's still running if I use htop)
I have tried starting the tray after icewm and before - and also tried running
icewm-session
I start it from .xinitrc as I don't use a logon manager like GDM etc

Hi. When using icewm I've found that the tray will disappear when no applets are using it. When an applet needs the tray, it will become visible as required. If you autostart something like nm-applet with icewm then the tray should remain visible at all times.
Hope this helps.

hmm that's less than ideal! I only run 2 programs on startup that show in a tray. Clipit and the guake dropdown terminal. So I have to run nm-applet! to get it to stay - I'll try it.
Edit - nope - no change. I removed icewm and tried an earlier version 1.3.7 but the same problem. I remember using icewm about a year ago but cant remember what version and it worked fine. I expect it was a much older version as I was using Debian Stable which always has old software. I might try a much older version of just forget icewm as i am now trying out JWM and its very similar and also very light.
