man startx says to read man xinit, which says "Both the client program
name and the server program name must begin with a slash (/) or a period
(.). Otherwise, they are treated as an arguments to be appended to their
respective startup lines. "

So you probably wanted to run

startx /usr/bin/icewm -- :1

This is _not_ the error. See earlier messages in the backlog.
