X and Fluxbox :: icons disappear

You should look through all of the lnk files to make sure they all point to existing files, including the lnk files that were originally part of DSL. It takes only one bad lnk to break xtdesk. I can't remember which one(s) got overwritten, but the icewm.dsl extension overwrote at least one lnk file in DSL. The image expected by the new lnk file(s) no longer exists in DSL.

If you want to try icewm in DSL, I recommend icewm.uci (currently in testing). Not only is it a newer version of icewm, but it also does not overwrite any of your personal files.
