window manager startup problem

[Paul Kaplan]

I'm trying to start icewm on a second console (opensuse 10.1) w/ the command
startx -icewm --:1 and I'm met with the following error:

waiting for X server to shutdown FreeFontPath: FPE 
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

and then I'm returned to the prompt.

Can anyone shed lite on this error and how to resolve?
TIA
Paul
