Well, I'm not sure this is really a fatal error for X. It doesn't look like that. Could you please try the following?

Terminate gdm by e.g. running 'rcxdm' as user 'root' or boot into runlevel 3. Then login to Linux console as regular user and run

X -retro & sleep 3 DISPLAY=:0.0 icewm &

Does Xserver and then icewm on top of it start?
