Alternatives state file leftovers are now correctly handled. It was issue only when updating mga5 or old cauldron installations to current cauldron.

Tested several cases and updating to latest icewm{,-light}-1.3.12-13.mga6 should work flawless even there're no state file leftovers.

However, if icewm was already removed, new icewm doesn't remove anything and one needs to clean state files by hand.
