I think that there was an IcePref which was not written in Python around 1999 or 2000. I remeber that someone claimed to start "new" IcePref in Python, but I don't remember when it was. I remember that author (Python version) was annoyed by some user that told him to "hurry up" :-)
Yes, the time is running like hell, and it seems to me that it was yesterday :-)

You are right. The first IcePref was written in Python. The header reads:
# This is (or will be) the best IceWM configuration utility
# known to man. It requires a recent version of python as well as Gtk
I don't know much about Gtk, but I am good in Python. I might fix it to work with recent IceWm. We'll see....

"Have you used old IcePref app ? It was GTK only and I liked it."
Yes, it was the "old" icepref utility (icepref-1.1_1), I said it was some time ago, I'm using UNIX at home for quite a long time. :-) IcePref version 1 was a python script importing Gtk bindings.
