Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
When I select icewm or IceWM from the login screen and enter my password the screen goes black, and the
login screen restarts. I get the following in my .xsession-errors:
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_US.
Start IM through /etc/X11/
icewm-session: using /home2/barry/.icewm for private configuration files
icewmbg: using /home2/barry/.icewm for private configuration files
icewmtray: using /home2/barry/.icewm for private configuration files

after 122 requests (122 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
icewmbg: Can't open display: :0. X must be running and $DISPLAY set.
However if I select blackbox from the gdm login screen it will start, and then I can rightclik and from the
logout menu select to start icewm. Icewm will then come up correctly.
My system was updated today 11-Apr-2011 and:

I have a ATI Radeon HD 4670 Graphics Card, and was running the free radeon driver.
I just updated to the proprietary fglrx driver, and thinks work correctly now.
