Launching xdiskusage from IceWM menu


How should I set up my ~.icewm/menu file in order to be able to launch xdiskusage from it? This line
Quote:
prog "Disk usage" /usr/share/icons/Tango/16x16/apps/gnome-fs-blockdev.png /bin/sh -c "xdiskusage"
only opens a transparent window titled "xdiskusage". I found that
Quote:
prog "Disk usage" /usr/share/icons/Tango/16x16/apps/gnome-fs-blockdev.png xfce4-terminal -e "xdiskusage"
will launch xdiskusage properly, but an annoying terminal window is opened at the same time, and cannot be closed without also closing xdiskusage.

Code:
prog "Disk usage" /usr/share/icons/Tango/16x16/apps/gnome-fs-blockdev.png xdiskusage

Yes, that was the first thing I tried. It also results in the transparent window.
