Ok, I completed the task and then rebooted my computer and tried to login as DSL and this time I got the same thing, X-windows failed to start and i got the same error message as last time but, icewm was changed to fluxbox.

/opt/bin/fluxbox file or directory does not exist.

There should be no "/opt/bin/", ever.  This might be the whole problem.
I doubt that icewm is installed in /opt/bin...it should probably be /opt/icewm/bin/icewm-session

For fluxbox, that line needs only the word "fluxbox".  Nothing else.  No /opt/anything at the beginning unless you are using flux-dev, which I'm sure you're not.

with the cursor over the first character of that line, type "c$" and then type "fluxbox".

If you did this, you would have no "/opt/bin/"  "c$" in vim means "change everything from the cursor to the end of the line", so if you were at the beginning of line 7 and typed c$ vim would delete everything on that line and take you into insert mode.
An alternative would be to move the cursor anywhere on that line, type "dd" to delete the line, and then "i" or "o" to get into insert mode.  Usually "o" if you want to automatically create a new line.

Probably a bad icon file in /home/dsl/.xtdesktop
I can't say for sure which one, or why it happened.  One way to check is to open an xterm and type "xtdesk".  This will attempt to load the icons and maybe give you an error message that'll give a clue what's wrong.
