On Linux, IceWM GNOME menus don't always get displayed as expected. If an executable is not found in the path, its menu item won't be displayed. Because of this, the Oracle 10g XE menus appear empty. You can either work out how to change your path so it is set prior to window manager startup, or use hard coded paths. I added Oracle XE menus with explicit paths to ~/.icewm/menu (these long lines are going to look ugly in this style sheet):

menu "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition"  folder {
  menu "Get Help" folder {
    prog "Go To Online Forum" /usr/share/pixmaps/oraclexe-gotoonlineforum.png /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/config/scripts/gotoonlineforum.sh
    prog "Read Documentation" /usr/share/pixmaps/oraclexe-readdocumentation.png /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/config/scripts/readdocumentation.sh
    prog "Read Online Help" /usr/share/pixmaps/oraclexe-readonlinehelp.png /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/config/scripts/readonlinehelp.sh
    prog "Register For Online Forum" /usr/share/pixmaps/oraclexe-registerforonlineforum.png /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/config/scripts/registerforonlineforum.sh
  }
  prog "Get Started" /usr/share/pixmaps/oraclexe-getstarted.png /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/config/scripts/gettingstarted.sh

A couple of the menu items that open URLs didn't run with Firefox in my configuration. I fixed this by editing readdocumentation.sh and adding an http:// prefix to the URL. This changed

  /usr/bin/$i www.oracle.com/technology/xe/documentation

to

  /usr/bin/$i http://www.oracle.com/technology/xe/documentation

Similarly I edited gotoonlineforum.sh and added the http:// prefix, changing

  /usr/bin/$i www.oracle.com/technology/xe/forum

to

  /usr/bin/$i http://www.oracle.com/technology/xe/forum
