At least one version of the gnome-libs had a bug that prevented
programs from working under the session manager.  I'm afraid I don't
know much more about it than this.

Maybe you could make a stack trace for one of the failing programs?

The behavior you see is consistent with this problem.  The reason is
that neither icewm nor gnome-smproxy use the Gnome libs.
