 well, it's still the default. the main icon in WinGrass runs "grass65 -wx"
 though, so you get it every time, unless you pick the "GRASS (old GUI)"
 icon. (this overwrites your chosen default btw, if that matters)

 so changing the launcher to `grass64 -wx` should solve that.

 set MUI_LICENSEPAGE_TEXT_TOP to "We hope you enjoy using GRASS" ?

 or borrowing from an Ubuntu disc:
 {{{

 entitled to copy, reinstall, modify, and redistribute this program
 for yourself and your friends under the terms of the GPL. Happy
 mapping!"
 }}}

 I don't know if we can control that.

 Instead of "launch release notes" perhaps call it "open, read, or browse"
 rel.notes ?
