So, it's no longer a child of icewm. Does icewm have other childs, maybe
zombies? I suspect it has a shell process as child. What's the signal
status of this process?

% ps -ef |grep -A4 icewm

After you've told icewm to quit and it hangs, can you attach to the
process and look what he's doing?

% strace -vfttT -p $(pidof icewm)

Bye, Jörg.
