Can you log in on another terminal/console and take a snapshot of the
process tree with ps fax?

There should be a shell as parent of wbar hanging around. Can you send
the output of

% grep \^S /proc/$PID_OF_SHELL/status

I have a similar problem with my shutdown and reboot script. It hangs,
because IceWM masks the signal for childs for ignoring and the child (the
shell) never receives the SIGCHLD and waits forever.

This is a small perl script that resets the signal mask.

#!/usr/bin/perl -W

use POSIX;
$sigset = POSIX::SigSet->new();
sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, $sigset);

exec @ARGV;

This is the way I'm using it.

ShutdownCommand="cd /; ~/.icewm/unblock-signals sudo /bin/sh -c '(sleep 5; shutdown -h now) &' </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 & kill $PPID"

Bye, Jörg.
