[GRASS-user] Invalid map size

[Marvin Eng]

Anna
Thank you again. That worked.

The "Save current window layout as default" box was checked - but I hit the
save button at the bottom of the page and now the GUI opens an monitor when
it starts up.

p.s. in winGRASS 7.0.3 the "GUI Settings" are accessed through the last
selection in the "Settings" menu which is labeled "Preferences" (although
the window that this selection opens is called "GUI Settings"
