Comment:

 It is not designed or supposed to work from the new gis.m GUI, so this is
 not surprising.


 well, you can launch one from that command line, and d.mon -L reports it
 as selected, but d.rast shows nothing and d.where goes nuts. d.info
 reports the correct initial window size but doesn't update if you change
 it by hand. You can work the xmon from the real terminal command line, but
 you might as well launch it from there as well.

 Interestingly (or not, DOYPOV) if you run a Xterm from the gis.m output
 window, after setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH it still didn't work for me, but it
 would write to $GRASS_PNG_FILE which I could look at in an image viewing
 program. I expect that's just a useless curiosity though.


 If you want to work with d.* commands + a gui you have to use the old
 tcl/tk GUI (d.m). you can still do that with any 6.x GRASS by entering
 "d.m" or "g.gui oldtcktk" on the (real) terminal's command line.
