Well, for some reason I see tcltkgrass has a "d.mon start=$mon" followed
by a "d.mon stop=$mon".  I'm not sure why it's set-up like this...

In src/tcltkgrass/main/gui.tcl:

proc stop_monitors {} {
    foreach monitor [search_xdrivers] {
        exec d.mon start=$monitor >& /dev/null
        exec d.mon stop=$monitor >& /dev/null
        script_add "d.mon start=$monitor >& /dev/null" "cmd"
        script_add "d.mon stop=$monitor >& /dev/null" "cmd"
    }
}

Since it's run without a controlling tty, and the monitor is already
running when d.mon is asked to start it again, you get an error message
in your mailbox from d.mon...

Anybody want to hit me with a clue stick as to why tcltkgrass would
first try to start the monitor? only to kill it?
