[GRASS5] gis.m as default GUI

[William Kyngesburye]

It looks like that's already in gis.m script:

    exec "$GRASS_WISH" $GISBASE/etc/gm/gm.tcl -name gm_tcl &

and probably in other places in the tcl code to set the various  
window names.

I think that gm_tcl is the main window with the menu, that's named  
"GRASS6.1.cvs GIS Manager - " + location name.  And that same window  
in Tcl/Tk Aqua wish also gets that name, but the 'Wish Shell'  
application name itself is what shows up in the Mac OS X menubar and  
Dock.  It's the whole wish application that has all those windows  
open that I would like to see as "GRASS6.1.cvs" or similar short name.

It probably works from within Lorenzo's GRASS.app, since GRASS.app  
starts the whole thing, and a small change in the gis.m tcl code sets  
wish windows to spawn off GRASS.app (I assume) instead of as a new  
application.  I don't use his binaries, so I can't really say.
