1. File manager: Emelfm. It's great.
2. Task bar: Open /home/(user name)/.icewm/toolbar. It is merely a text file.
3. Global font: Open /home/(user name)/.icewm/preferences. Again it is a text file but it is a long one.

-->You may have to copy "menu," "preferences" and "toolbar" from /etc/icewm to your /home/(user name)/.icewm directory.

1. File Manager = xfe!!!
The version in sarge was broken for a while; don't know if it is currently; I used the Libranet 2.8 version. The sid version is also broken (as of several days ago) but easily corrected -- right click on xfe label in taskbar; select "move"; move the mouse pointer across desktop.

2. Task Bar Modifications = icemc & iceme (you may need to use both)

3. Font modification = icepref
