 You can really digitize then view a map created with it? As far as I knew
 r.digit needed an interactive xmon window, which is only available if
 using X11. It should fail with a "no monitor found" error *after* you give
 it a map name.

 Perhaps something changed, but this surprises me.


 I have backported grass-xterm-wrapper to the 6.3.0 branch, but I hope
 others can add more xterm compatible terms to the list as needed.

 see also previous discussion:

 re r20925, I assume that the various distro's x-terminal-emulator wrappers
 have gotten their act together re gnome-terminal since last time we tried.
 It works for me on debian (points to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper which
 translates command line options); could Ubuntu users please re-test to see
 if r.digit now works from the gis.m menu? (that's where the earlier
 problems were reported)

 I don't like changing this so late in the RC cycle, but hopefully it helps
 more than it harms.
