Comment (by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:5 hamish]:

 > somehow in the wxPython code the "wait" variable is becoming a list on
 your system. That doesn't happen for me and I don't see any obvious reason
 for it in the code. A more expert wxPy'er than myself would need to tell
 you why and how to fix it.

 OnXTerm() is seriously broken, and should be re-written or removed.

 E.g.:
 {{{
         # run the command
         command = ' '.join(command)
 }}}
 and:
 {{{
                cmdlist = [xtermwrapper, '-e "%s"' % grassrun, command]
 }}}

 Hint: xterm's "-e" switch doesn't take an argument. It indicates that all
 remaining arguments are the program and its arguments (i.e. the next
 argument after -e is the program, the one after that is argv[1], etc).

 This also applies to the grass-xterm-wrapper and grass-run scripts: they
 take individual arguments, not a "command string".
