[GRASS-user] vector layer labelling doesn't work....

Yes, ok Martin. But that would be for "user-friendness". Conceptually,
with your logic, also d.what.vect should work only if a centroid is
clicked, not on the whole area...
Centroids are borned to make areas exist, so they're conceptually
strongly related, so it doesn't appear an error to me to consider
labels (attributes) directly related to areas... my two cents. I
repeat, just for "user-friendness"
