Installed icewm, no man page, odd!
The only application listed was xterm. I am not sure how to configure
this wm now.

Yes, can you expand on this. I suspect window managers won't expect to
find applications in /usr/pkg, although it's in the $PATH.
Going to back to fluxbox, I had this error when trying to generate a menu:
fluxbox-generate_menu
touch: ${HOME}/.fluxbox/menuconfig: No such file or directory
Warning: I couldn't create ${HOME}/.fluxbox/menuconfig
Fatal error: can't create or write to ${HOME}/.fluxbox/menu
I researched on many forums and I thought it was a bug,
I then found this old bug report:
http://sourceforge.net/p/fluxbox/bugs/835/
I believe the version of fluxbox shipped with pkgscr is an update of
older one and it's possible that a broken fluxbox-generate_menu has
been carried over.
Has anybody got a working copy of fluxbox and check if this is still
the case, before filling a bug report?
