[GRASS-dev] what's going on in r39326

[Benjamin Ducke]

I think we have to acknowledge, though, that GRASS development 
can get quite frustrating at this point. And think what we can do to 
improve  the situation. If a dedicated developer turns away
from GRASS because it's no fun anymore, then we all lose.

There are many aspects to GRASS development right now, maybe too many
for a single developer to keep track of. A while ago, there was a 
posting on this mailing list asking whether it would be possible to
separate the wxPython and GUI development out into an individual project. 
Maybe that would be a start?

Getting back to the functional aspects, I would be in favour of
implementing behaviour like Paul suggested a moment ago:

"Regarding point (2), why not just launch the GUI in the foreground 
instead of the background? When it exits, control will be returned 
to Init.sh which can then clean up and exit. The check for whether 
there is no terminal attached could be used to force GUI rather than 
text mode."
