Why are you using startx in a .Xsession? If you're running the X server by entering startx in the console, then having startx in .Xsession will launch a second X server, no? So, regardless of how you start up your X, the .Xsession file should not contain startx. All entries in your .Xsession or similar must end with &, so they'll run in the background, except the last one. This last one should be your window manager. For instance, mine's this: exec xscreensaver -no-splash & exec /usr/bin/fluxbox Yours should be: exec idesk & exec /path/to/otherapp & exec /usr/bin/icewm I've tried idesk before and gave up for some reason, but i think i had it working...
