If you start IceWM from GNOME, you can set your language settings in
<pre><code class="lang-bash">~/.icewm/startup
</code></pre>
For example
<pre><code class="lang-bash">#!/bin/sh

setxkbmap de
</code></pre>
Setting all available window-managers is done in
<pre><code class="lang-bash">/usr/share/xsessions
</code></pre>
Example: For starting icewm you can use the following configuration file <code>/usr/share/xsessions/icewm-session.desktop</code>
<pre><code class="lang-bash">[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=icewm
Name[en_US]=icewm
Comment=Simple and fast window manger
Terminal=false
Exec=icewm-session
TryExec=icewm-session
