[GRASS-dev] why d.vect.thematic won't run on WinGRASS - d.mon problem

[Michael Barton]

In order for d.vect.thematic to run in the GUI (the only way it will  
work in WinGRASS), it has to start and stop the PNG monitor.

To do this, it has to run d.mon--i.e., d.mon start=png and d.mon  
stop=png.

However, d.mon will not run in WinGRASS, probably because it does not  
have x11. I am betting that d.mon ALWAYS checks for an x11 monitor  
when it attempts to do something. However, it doesn't really need one  
if it is running the PNG monitor (or perhaps doing some other tasks  
that are not related to starting, stopping, or selecting xmons).

If this is correct, is there a way to disable this check so that d.mon  
can start and stop the PNG driver without checking for an xmon?
