I assume that you're using LightDM as "login manager"? You can edit the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to contain:

[SeatDefaults]
user-session=icewm-session

or

[SeatDefaults]
user-session=IceWM

An explanation of the differences between icewm-session and IceWM can be found in the IceWM FAQ:

"Beginning with IceWM 1.2.13 there is a binary icewm-session. This binary helps you to handle all IceWM subparts (icewmbg, icewm, icewmtray, startup, shutdown started in this order). Therefore you can use icewm-session to start IceWM. icewm now starts only window manager itself."
