The command that is issued by clicking the shutdown button of icewm is
configurable in the preference file; it is disabled by default. The
menu item do nothing more than call the command; so you could call it
by hand (mine is "sudo shutdown -h now" with sudo configured to not ask
a password for this command; read the man page of shutdown for further
details). If you want to just logout instead of shutdown; simply kill
icewm (pkill icewm). Remember that icewm is just a window manager, it
does not support session management and other advanced features of
desktop like KDE.
