Comment:

 Michael, please, do NOT close bug only because it works on Your Mac! We
 don't have so many testers on various systems and thus it's highly
 possible that nobody else has stumbled on specific software configuration
 that triggers this issue. Still I would rather love to see this bug fixed
 before release and not reopened in few days after release when user
 feedback will start to flow in. It still app-lays to my Gentoo system. I
 made svn up && make clean on 6.5 branch and every bit of this report is
 still true.

 g.gui fails to launch new wxgui AND fails to report failure. init.sh works
 just fine. If it's Python version mismatch, then it needs to be fixed, as
 in such case g.gui and init.sh use different pythons and it may cause also
 other bugs.

 Updated bits:
