"Programs" menu in icewm is absolutely empty. Essentially, it's unusable.
Please file a bug report against icewm.

OK. Assigned to me. (NEEDINFO)
I assume that you're using icewm-xdgmenu, right?
Okay, it seems to me an undeclared dependency.
Undeclared, by design. Some people might want to define the menus manually.
Note, the description says "each time the user logs _in_."
Indeed.
I'd be happier if the menus were built by a script run by rpm; I've never looked at triggers, but I expect that this is the sort of thing they deal with.
Problem is - I don't have any means to detect if the GNOME/KDE menu have been changed since the last login. More-ever, even on my laptop (a PII/366, 256Mhz), rebuilding the menus eats ~1-3 seconds (being executed in the background). If you want to disable the auto-rebuild, just edit the /usr/share/icewm/startup script.
I managed to reproduce the problem, but a simple login-logout solved the problem. Weird.
Since my problem seems explained by the lack of a menu generator, and presumably you do have said generator, you and I might be seeing different problems.
Guess so.
It will be a while before I test it, atm I'm trying to virtually install CentOS5 using KVM and I'm wondering whether it's emulating the CPU.
P.S. IceWM is also a part of Fedora's EPEL repository. (RHEL/CentOS)
