I'm working on something like this... a /etc/sysconfig/icewm file
containing:

	ICEWM_NAUTILUS=YES
	ICEWM_SESSION=YES

and then the /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/IceWM would contain:

	#!/bin/bash
	if [ -f /etc/profile.d/ltsp-esound.sh ]
	then
	        . /etc/profile.d/ltsp-esound.sh
	fi
	if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/icewm ]
	then
	        . /etc/sysconfig/icewm
	fi
	if [ "$ICEWM_NAUTILUS" = "YES" ]
	then
		/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon &
		/usr/bin/nautilus &
	fi
	if [ "$ICEWM_SESSION" = "YES" ]
	then
		exec /usr/bin/icewm-session
	else
		exec /usr/bin/icewm
	fi

I think that would do the trick for making it easy to adjust
how much resources the IceWM session type uses. Just edit
/etc/sysconfig/icewm to turn various features on or off.
