What's happened to the old/original development team? Why don't we
ever hear from them? Have they all suddenly disappeared, or simply
chickened-out completely? lol....

I'm quite impresses with IceWM myself, but a few irritating
glitches using it with Ubuntu, and a *very small* and relatively
silent community has forced me to favor fluxbox in the short run.

If I were a C / C++ programmer, I'd pitch in.
