Great idea! And, if the user would exit GRASS, dialog could appear, with "Save current session [Yes/No]", which would create something like "GRASS Project File (project_name.grs)", which could start GRASS by double click (and point GRASS to the right location/mapset and start the GUI etc.) In the same time, the new created mapset/location would be moved from "/tmp" to some other chosen directory. ?
