Moritz,

Update /gui/tcltk/gis.m/runandoutput.tcl from the cvs and see what happens.
I just made a change, suggested by Glynn, that fixed similar symptoms for
with with another command (v.what). v.what was kicking out extraneous
information when it launched and creating an identical dialog. I've
separated out stderr from the normal stdout information when commands are
launched from the menu and it works fine now.

Also, are you doing nviz from the menu (opens nviz dialog) or nviz from the
map display with a active raster map (launches nviz with the raster)?
