[works fine for me on Debian]

before drawing anything d.barscale saves a copy of the screen [with
R_panel_save()] to a temporary file. If you click the middle button for
"cancel" or reposition, it redraws the screen from this saved copy
[R_panel_restore()].


Are you sure that "unable to open panel  No such file or directory" is
exact? I can't find that error message.


does running:
g.tempfile pid=$$

seem to work correctly?
