I was looking at that too before I gave up and started hacking scripts. 
The thing is that the actual switcher programs are compiled and ATM I'm 
leaning toward the idea that the options you get are hard-coded into the 
program and not stored in a configuration file. That said, the source is 
available and it _should_ be possible to add support for icewm. I'll try 
to have a look at it this week if I get time but don't expect a patch 
anytime soon. Like you, I'd really like to see IceWM better supported in 
FC but it's not quite as simple as just adding another radio button. There 
are issues of detecting if IceWM is installed and only displaying the 
option if it is. Oh, and we'll probably also want a new IceWM RPM to add 
in the various config changes that are needed.
