Hi all,

as new users tend to start "grass5" with a double click in
a file explorer (especially the (former) Windows users) it
might be a good idea to start GRASS in an own "xterm" *if*
the DISPLAY variable is set (= Xwin running). This click-idea
of course doesn't currently work.

Starting GRASS in its own xterm would reduce lot of confusion 
for them... Any objections?
We could use the same check mechanism already used for the
graphical startup.

Regards
 Markus
