Do you want IceWM instead of GNOME. or IceWM instead of Metacity in
GNOME?

In the first case you just log out, set the proper session and log back
in.

In the latter case you need to kill Metacity and run IceWM instead:

 (From memory, so I might be wrong here)
 1. Make sure Metacity won't be restarted by GNOME by removing it from
    your current session (System->Preferences->Sessions, check the
    "Current Session" tab).
 2. Kill Metacity and run IceWM instead:
     $ killall -9 metacity; sleep 5; icewm&
 3. Save your session when you log out.
