[gentoo-catalyst] Problem with IceWM

[Luca Casagrande]

Thanks to the help of Andrew, i set the password for the user, and now the 
login process works fine. 
Just after enter the password, i got an error that say that i have been 
logging in for less then 10 sec and to check the error log:

/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -a -w
/var/log$
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Cannot find Xclients
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- xsm
xsm: No such file or directory

And then come back to GDM.
If i switch consolle, clear Xorg and startx as user, IceWm works fine (except 
mouse :) ).

Some info on my livecd-stage2.spec:
subarch: i686
target: livecd-stage2
rel_type: default
profile: default-linux/x86/2006.0
snapshot: 20060814

livecd/fstype: squashfs

livecd/xdm: gdm
livecd/xsession: icewm
livecd/gk_mainargs: --lvm2 --evms2 --unionfs-dev
boot/kernel/gentoo/use: pcmcia usb oss atm

Thanks for your help
Luca

Wait... is gdm starting automatically, or have you done something to
make it start?

I set gdm as 
livecd/xdm: gdm

And add xdm as default runlevel

Thanks

OK.  So I'm guessing that you want gdm to auto-start, then.  ;]

Well, there's no point in fixing that "sed" line, then.  Since it is
designed to autostart X using "startx" from the command line, having a
display manager start before the root user gets logged in automatically
takes precedence.

Does IceWM require extra configuration after installing on a "normal"
system to work with GDM?
