[iPAQ] Power with icewm

Greetings, I am new on the lists, glad to be around
you all (a few would know me from irc as #lars_g) :)

I make my first posting about power with icewm, I
recently switched from ion to icewm for it's superior
pda-sized-pc human usseable interface (if you have
other good options do tell me please) but I have found
out two details uppon switching one soft one
distressing.... the soft one, (may be related) bl
(backlight) does not turns on/off anymore by long
pressings of the power switch (not even with all power
button mapping removed from the icewm installed
xmodmap.....) now, normally icewm maps power button to
a script (power.sh) done by the person who compiled
ice for the ipaq (dlux) wich basically either
activates the screensaver or suspends the ipaq. On
tryign to restore the backlight functioning I
eliminated all of icewm's asociated power functioning
(eliminated power.sh and eliminated mapping the power
button in xmodmap) now when I press the power button
it seems to suspend in wich host->ipaq connection is
lost and that the ipaq clears and stops responding
until repowered.... but, it seemed (I didn't calculate
closely) that the ipaq consumed four to five times
more power while on this not-icewm-initiated suspend.
Is this.... possible? and on the backlight issue, any
ideas on that side? also I accept recomendations on
window manages, ion and blackbox are cumbersome, but
ice is very confortable to use....
