strace of Icewm session begun using startx

Tried on host big41 using Tumbleweed. Didn't help.

I've been using this /usr/local/bin/startice script to speed up invocations:

#!/bin/sh
WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/icewm startx

So, I first, before remembering to remove the sleep, did:

# strace startice

I could see the mouse pointer disappear from center, then reappear upward and
leftward, accompanying mode change from the cmdline's 1440x900 to xrandr's
1680x1050. IOW, using strace, xrandr was employed normally instead of ignored.
Then, after remembering to remove the sleep,

# strace -o somefile.txt startice

Mouse pointer did not move. 1440x900 stuck. Somefile.txt attached. What clues
it may contain I have no idea.
