Thanks, now it works fine for these commands.

I have the feeling the problem might be the output of the d.mon command.
The actual tcl error message I get is:

using default visual which is TrueColor
ncolors: 16777216
Graphics driver [x0] started
using default visual which is TrueColor
ncolors: 16777216
Graphics driver [x0] started
    while executing
"exec d.mon start=x0"

Maybe tcl cannot handle the output (first two lines of the error message) ?
