Subject: v.type limitations from g.parser interface because of problem with type flags

Platform: MacOSX
grass obtained from: Binary
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: binaries 2004-26-05

In the autogenerated GUI for v.type, the feature type pairs are a set of check boxes (i.e., flags for g.parser). However, these are listed in the following order:
point,line,boundary,centroid,face,kernel

There is no area flag/checkbox
If you need to translate multiple types, it will not work. For example, translating lines,boundaries and point,centroid shows up as type=point,line,boundary,centroid. Obviously this won't work. A couple of suggestions for remedying this.

Flags could be in meaningful pairs. e.g., :
point,centroid
line,boundary
boundary,face (is this meaninful?)

Or there could simply be a text box to put in pairs.
