this is fixed in modern version of GRASS. (including 6.2.3 in lenny) this bug can be closed.
from what I recall this had something to do with the old tcltk module GUI code, which is no longer used. somewhere there is a mailing list post about it if anyone cares to dig. Hamish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
