I do remember you mentioning icewm before, so my mistake. I thought you
wanted to run gnome or unity via vnc.

I have never seen icewm so I don't know what it's supposed to look like, but
what you have there is displaying exactly as it should. It's a basic graphic
shell that has no menu bars. (or much else)

This is what you see when you connect to a server that isn't running a
window manager. As I said, I think that's called x-windows, but I may be
wrong.

Looks like icewm isn't running yet.
