Thanks! The essential point seems to be the call to icewmtray. For
some　reason this was called the first time, but not after
restarting X.　Debian　has a complicated X start-up system, not
using .xinitrc. I must investigate this, maybe it is a Debian bug.

Anyway, I changed to xfce4/xfwm4 now, which is perhaps even nicer
than icewm, and which does not have the problem. BTW which key has
keycode 131? In Debian it seems, the default Multi_key/Compose key
(on a 105-key keyboard at least) is the right-hand "Windows" key,
with keycode 116.
