I still have this problem. When you say you don't have this problem, is 
this on Mac or on GNU/Linux (Debian ?). If Linux is it wxGTK ?

I don't know if it actualy did this before, but now it appends the new 
options to the old options, i.e. I chose one command, I see its option 
window, I close it, chose another command in the menu and the options of 
the second command are appended after those of the first, and so on (see 
http://moritz.homelinux.org/grass/gmwxp_option_windows.png for an 
example with one vector and one raster (starts at "Name of input raster 
map") module).


Precision: this is when I launch commands through the menu, not through 
the console (if I am not mistaking, launching a command from the console 
still opens the tcl/tk windows, not the wxpython window, or ?).

Could these problems come from specific issues with the GTK port of wx ?

Do users of other GNU/Linux distributions have the same kinds of problems ?
