The problem went away when a new build of e-wm was available i.e.
   'e-wm - 0.16.999.050+svnr38352-r0'

Which build of e-wm do you have ?

Also in previous version of e-wm - *+svnr37988* changing the 'Display 
Type' from 'Icons -> Slider' in 'Illume: Wrench->Launcher' displayed the 
various icons, very strected that is...
