[GRASS-dev] Re: [GRASS GIS] #117: r.digit: make guarantee_xmon fail nicely on WinGrass

[Michael Barton]

Marco,

I put this in the development GRASS 6 branch, which is where I think we are
supposed to be working on GUI development at the present--especially for
TclTk--and which will morph into GRASS 6.4.

To be more accurate, it is not that r.digit doesn't work, it is that ANY
command that requires an interactive Xmonitor doesn't work--and won't work
on Windows AFAICT. With TclTk now giving a meaningful message whenever
someone tries to run such a command from the GUI, the TclTk ticket should be
closed. 

The other issue, about requiring interactive should indeed be maintained as
an enhancement ticket for GRASS 6.4 and 7. But this will require changes to
the relevent modules' C code. That is, it is not an issue that can be fixed
in the GUI at present.

Michael
