Thanks for the improvements. 

I have (probably) found a small bug in the digitize-button. When I
select a vector-layer and hit the digitize-button, GRASS complains
about no existing topology. When I try v.digit <vectorlayer> from the
commandline, everything is working as expected.

Does anybody have the same experience?

Best
