I wonder if icewmconf would still work on newer icewm releases, including the 
one in pkgsrc and the current 1.3.7, which I may try to build for Linux.  Maybe 
I should see what comes with the newer icecc.

Websites/homepages being no longer valid happens a lot with older software.  I 
noticed it quite a lot with Internet software for DOS.
