 ----

 In a followup of http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-GRASS-6.2.1RC1-published-
 p7837804.html Bob has sent me a new version of
 Gp3.c file, which gets rid of the sites dependency in NVIZ. Hovever, Bob
 had one doubt:

 In spite of this, it works: fetched the 6.3 cvs, overwrited the Gp3.c,
 built on Ubuntu Dapper using GCC 4.0.3 tcl/tk
 8.4.12 on a 32bit Pentium M and all is OK!

 No line artifacts, strange icons colors or random icon types.
 Adding/removing 2d/3d points at runtime and at NVIZ startup
 via 'points' option, displaying 3d points flat - all works OK.

 Remaining issue is that the 'X' icon is still always rendered kindoff
 hovering over the surface in 2d mode, not on the
 surface (though other icons are fine in 2d mode). It is rendered on the
 correct elevation for 3d points though.



 Since there's been no response from Bob on this subject for few weeks
 know, I decided it would be better to post this
 patch to the tracker so we don't loose an almost working fix. Hopefully
 somebody would like to look into lines 138,
 139 and the 'X' icon issue.
