And supports my suspicion that Agustin started GRASS.app from the  
Terminal.  GRASS.app is meant to be double-clicked to start.  The  
GRASS.app startup adds some convenience items to start X11 and setup  
some environment var defaults appropriate for OSX.  It should be  
possible to run this startup from the Terminal, but I haven't tested  
that and there may be problems.
