All I want is a switch to turn off the buttons bar at the top and the
coordinates under the cursor info bar at the bottom so I can maximize my
screen real-estate while I work. d.erase, d.rast, d.zoom etc should
still work from the command line. It doesn't have to be part of gis.m or
anything fancy, I'm happiest with a simple window like 'd.mon x0' gives.
I understand that d.zoom will be a problem. Hot keys could be used ('z'
switches cursor to zoom crosshairs, e.g.)
This is not a request, just a wish.
