Initial Comment:
In GRASS 6.2.1 if You press "Help" to get help about raster/vector displaying, it will run g.manual and lock up gis.m till You close browser (konqueror). Not good.
In GRASS 6.3.cvs if You do same, gis.m will remain locked also after closing help browser (konqueror). Only way out after pressing help is to use xkill. Really bad.

This patch changes all "run g.manual foo" in gis.m to "spawn g.manual foo". It works now for me with CVS head (10.02.2007.) and Konqueror. I can open help and continue to use gis.m in same time. If looks OK, somebody commit it, please.
