Summary: Toolbar launches alsaplayer, fails to launch alsamixer

Initial Comment:
Both alsaplayer and alsamixer are in /usr/bin
The file ~/.icewm/toolbar contains the lines:
   prog Alsaplayer alsaplayer alsaplayer
   prog Alsamixer alsamixer alsamixer
   prog Xterm xterm x-terninal-emulator -ls
In the icewm window clicking on Alsaplayer launches the program, clicking on Alsamixer does nothing. Opening an xterm window and entering alsamixer launches the program.

The system is debian lenny with the debian 2.6.26-1-amd64 kernel image.

Message:
Thanks for the guidance.  alsamixergui worked but only in uncontrasting
shades of gray.  The emulator command works perfectly.

Message:
As expected... alsamixer is not a GUI and requires an xterm. You need to
either install alsamixergui and call that or change your exec to something
like "x-terninal-emulator -e alsamixer"
