I'm using Arch linux 0.7.1 Noodle and I just installed Icewm 1.2.23 with pacman.
The window manager works well but the startup executable doesn't run at startup. I can start it manually by writing './startup' in a terminal. The executable does it's work : it starts 'rox -pinboard', 'aumix -L', 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
I tried to fix it by updating to icewm 1.2.30 but it still doesn't work. Thanx for helping

http://www.icewm.org/manual/icewm-3.html#ss3.3 maybe?
If you're still running 0.7.1 it maybe time to pacman -Syu. We're at 0.8 already!

Have you put it in your .xinitrc? This is what i got in mine:
#!/bin/sh
numlockx &
icewm
It works fine every time.

I modified .xinitrc but it doesn't work.

Try:
~/.icewm/startup
Example:
#!/bin/bash
numlockx
opera
Remember chmod u+x ~/.icewm/startup
It works for me.

I tried but it doesn't work.
Is that so important to have numlock on when starting X?

Are you aware that .xinitrc is for use with the startx command? If you are, OK, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Sure I am.

I fixed it by writing in .xinitrc to start the icewm executable before icewm.
.xinitrc looks like this now :
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#
# exec wmaker
# exec startkde
numlockx on &
/home/weeniewhite/.icewm/startup &
icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox

Okay, I've found the right way to start icewm.
I had to write : "icewm-session" in .xinitrc. This way, I don't need to write "/home/weeniewhite/.icewm/startup".
