[GRASS-dev] compiling GRASS 6.3.0RC2 on Solaris 10

[Andreas C. Lange]

Hi,
maybe disabling this would be the best solution. I could'nt find the
problem. The culprit is that tksys.tcl grabs the main window (.), but it
seems to me that it is not started as a new instance of wish, but
inherits the windows from gis.m.
