icewm-experimental: http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=de...wm+experimental (http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=icewm+experimental)
The Debian package search engine is your friend.

Check out this nice review and simple how-to of Icewm (posted here again for convenience): http://www.osnews.com/story.php/7774/IceWM...-Window-Manager (http://www.osnews.com/story.php/7774/IceWM--The-Cool-Window-Manager)

And you can edit .icewm/preferences (the whole .icewm directory can be copied from /lib/share/icewm) and uncomment the "show help" line. Then you will get a big "Help" in the Icewm system menu (remember to bind it to F11 in .icewm/keys, super handy!) which gives you the whole Icewm manual. Cool stuff.

... My hands are always faster than my brain. Stupid guy ...

How do you mean?

You can launch it by "icewm-session-experimental"

apt-get install icewm-experimental   : ok

i had to add a .Xsession in /home/user with

#!/bin/sh
icewm-session


i'm looking to add all menus that were in xfce4 because i don't see all my applications

EDITED: all installed apps are there ! they are not in the root of the menu, but in menu/programs...

help
i'm trying to add a "suspend" item to the icewm menu
the problem is that my normal user is not authorized to send apm commands... so how can i do that?

the menu line would be:
prog "Suspend" app apm --suspend

thanks in advance!

I see two ways, using sudo or suid'ing apm as root.  I never use sudo, so that would be something you'd have to try for yourself, and suid'ing root (chmod 4755)  is a security risk.
