I ran into a related issue: certain applets will crash or not show up at
all if launched before IceWM's applet container has started. I just
wrapped them in a subshell with a sleep at the top, and it's worked
perfectly fine since:

----8<----
...
( # Session applets - start after IceWm
  sleep 2
  conky &
  nm-applet &
  padevchooser &
  gnome-power-manager &
  gnome-obex-server &
) | logger -st "XDM-${USER}" &

# No exec here, so shell can reap zombie children
ck-launch-session icewm-session
...
----8<----

It might also be possible to do things within the icewm-session startup
script (~/.icewm/startup) as well, but I haven't tested that.
