IceWM was updated because of a memory leak that could lead to XFree86 crash=
ing.
The memory leak is in icewmbg, which handles the background image, which can
take several MB of memory. This means each time you switch your desktop, you
loose that amount of memory. It can almost be considered as a security prob=
lem.
