The fault is in icewmbg, but to work around it:

  -  delete or rename /usr/bin/icewmbg
  -  create /usr/local/bin/icewmbg, containing:
      #!/bin/sh
      xsetroot -solid steelblue
      # colors are defined in /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt
  -  sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/icewmbg 

Many other utilities (xview, etc) may be used similarly.
