Actually I had misdiagnosed. I had an error in the keys file, missing double quotes. icewm apparently reads key assignments and stops if it encounters an error; hence some work and some did not.
Why the debian list? I guess because the machine I first noticed it on, a laptop, is running debian, and so is my server, and a second box. These are recent installs and I have been lurking around the debian list seeking answers to some questions. The machine from which I wrote the e-mail is running Mandriva, but debian is what I have been thinking for the last three weeks. And, I will add, good distro as well as a good list.
