 Replying to [comment:5 cmbarton]:

 which branch?

 in 6.4svn they are now disabled in the gui/wxpython Makefile.
 installed copies from earlier builds might be lurking around still.

 they work fine for me too, but the problem is if they die with an error
 they take down the rest of the gui with them, and if a user installs a
 packaged version of GRASS, and then upgrades their python or wx later, it
 all stops working (AFAIU). also the wxNviz in 6.4 is well behind Martin's
 work in the dev branches, so not an accurate representation & probable
 source of many already-fixed bug reports.

 > I thought these were only disabled for MS Windows.

 nope, since a little while ago they are now changed to be disabled across
 the board. (in 6.4 only)

 > I also thought that swig stays in 6.4.0,

 nope, it's now gone. if it's there people will expect it to stay and try
 to use it (and this was actually starting to happen too). better not to
 waste their time with what will be a dead-end effort.

 yes.

 > I'm assuming that this holds for Linux too.

 for all.

 ie wxVdigit and wxNviz in 6.4? expected.
 (I am confused by this last sentence and your first one in the post)
