If you start GRASS with grass5 -tcltk (or grass53 -tcltk, depending on 
your installation) it will default to the tcltk GUI from then on, or 
until you start GRASS with grass5 -text. If you start with grass5 
-text, it will default to text mode until you start again with grass5 
-tcltk.

AFAICT, you need to start GRASS in text mode (grass5 -text) to create a 
new location. At least mine bombs and erases the location parameter in 
.grassrc5 if I try to create a new location within the tcltk GUI. 
Creating new mapsets work fine however. When I get a chance, I will try 
to take a look at this and see if I can understand what is going on. Or 
perhaps someone could enlighten me.
