 6.5 with the wxGUI and spearfish dataset.

 in the Processes tab to sort by process name.

 disp=attr and set attrcol to 'label' in the d.vect Labels tab.

 processes grow. exiting grass does not kill them, and they are not visible
 on the task bar.

 using d.vect attrcol= locks the entire GUI and Windows XP taskbar until
 you type `exit` in the MSys rxvt terminal (which is still fully
 responsive).
