Yes.

The Init.sh script does the following on termination:

	# GRASS session finished
	tput clear
	echo "Closing monitors....."
	for MON  in `d.mon -L | grep running | grep -v "not running" | sed 's/ .*//'`
	do 
	    echo d.mon stop=$MON
	    d.mon stop=$MON 
	done

It's possible that the PNG driver gets omitted from the "for" loop, or
that "d.mon stop=..." fails for some reason. It's hard to say which or
why without more information.
