Subject: gis.m: cannot use v.in.ogr if no monitor is open

Platform: GNU/Linux/x86
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: cvs_head_20060724

When there is no display monitor open, launching v.in.ogr via the file menu in gis.m gives me below error. To reproduce just open a new GRASS session, close the Map Display 1 which is opened automatically and then launch v.in.ogr via the file menu.
r.in.gdal seems to work without any problem.

ERROR: region for current mapset is not set
       run "g.region"
