Mail-builtin: Not launching e-mail program

Ubuntu 8.04.1, Blackbox, Gkrellm 2.3.1

I'm using the mail-builtin to check one imap server and two local 
mbox files.

When I click the button on the mail-builtin (where the number of new 
messages shows) my e-mail program launches. The command is

     xterm -e alpine -i -passfile /home/myself/.alpine-passfile

The problem is this doesn't work after opening alpine through gkrellm 
and closing it again. After that the mail-builtin button doesn't have 
any effect.

Alpine doesn't run in the background, though, and it can 
be opened by the usual command outside of gkrellm.

     killall gkrellm; gkrellm -w

fixes the problem for the next try.

To reproduce the bug:
     [have some mailboxes and a mailreader configured]
     gkrellm -w
     click on the mail-builtin to launch the mailreader
     close the mailreader
     click on the mail-builtin to launch the mailreader

Result here: nothing happens.
