anyone know what "xganim" stands for? X for X11 + g for GRASS + animate?

Why not call the new script d.animate rather than hold onto the old "x"?

It's not like xganim is a scriptable module and we need to preserve the
executable name. (ok r.game_of_life scripts it) For rigid brains we could add a
symlink to the name xganim for the rest of GRASS 6, or just leave xganim alone
and remove for GRASS 7.

anyhow, the new version needs to be as fast, featureful, and stable as the old
before we kill xganim, IMO.
