Installation of Icewm on Arch Linux Phase 4 | ArcoLinuxD
We start from the last video. We have a basic Arch Linux on our Virtualbox. Now we need to install the desktop. Lightdm is already activated but there is no desktop behind it yet. We go to the TTY with Right-CTRL + F3. On real metal you use Ctrl + Alt + F3. ... This is Icewm from Arch Linux.

IceWM Guide - Celettu's Weblog - WordPress.com
June 5, 2008 - It’s in the Ubuntu and Arch repos, and should be in any other distro’s repositories too. It doesn’t manage the desktop by default, so open it, go to Edit > Preferences > Desktop and check “Show Desktop Icons” and “Wallpaper”. The downside is, it doesn’t really look that great. It’s easy though. Keep in mind that, if you want the background to appear every time you boot the pc (as you probably will), you have to add “pcmanfm &” to your ~/.icewm/startup.
