[K12OSN] Broadcast Message under Gnome Success!

[Peter Hartmann]

Sorry for answering my own question but in case anyone was in the same
boat as me, this is my /etc/X11/gdm/IceWM file below.    Turns out the
kdeinit has to go before the icewm line.


#!/bin/sh
#/usr/bin/nautilus -n &
/usr/bin/kdeinit  kwrited
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession icewm
