Carlos and Benjamin, Thanks much. This is why we need more people to start using and testing the wx GUI. A couple responses below

How do you manage to keep a map display open and close the main window? My guess is that this is what is causing things to hang, not closing GRASS. Whenever I close the layer manager, all other GUI windows close too. This is what they are supposed to do. Probably, when you are closing the layer manager first and the map display is NOT closing, it is hanging waiting for *something* (I don't know what) in order to shut the whole GUI down. Do you get any python error messages eventually? This might help us track down why the GUI is not closing all windows as it should. > > I observe the same problem with zooming. I also can confirm this. It seems to be a more general issue in that the map gets resized to fit in the window horizontally, but not vertically. That is, if you make a tall, skinny map display and zoom to the map, it fits in horizontally (leaving a lot of white space on the top and bottom). But if you make a short, wide map display, the fitting does not work correctly. My colleagues on the GUI team seem to be out doing real work somewhere and I'm facing the need to do the same with classes starting shortly. But I'll try to track this down. > > Additionally, the manual pages in the wx module dialogs do not > show any bitmaps. But this may be a problem with my own wxPython > setup. I noticed this some time back and reported it to Daniel Cavelo, who is overseeing this part of the GUI. He has tracked down how to fix it but noted that if you click on of the links on a manual page, the new page WILL show the bitmaps. Something is not getting initialized somewhere. Especially for pages where someone has gone to the trouble of creating graphics, we need to get this resolved. Thanks again for the reports.
