The problem is that winGRASS does not support X or PNG monitors. The solution is the new Python based user interface. I am not sure if there is a d.vect.thematic equivalent already (we are preparing 6.4.0 these days) which work on Windows since I am no Windows user. I hope you get the answer from another group member.
