Comment(by Venkat):

 Tried on brand new computer. The issue is about unicode encoding.
 GRASS-6.4.2RC1, 6.4.1 do no seem to support Unicode. As I mentioned in
 http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1380#comment:15

 On Window-7 System local needs to be changed from Contro Panel --> Region
 and Language --> Change system locale. On Japanese Windows-7 the system
 locale is set to "Japanese". (Japanese/Chinese/Korean? are use double byte
 encoding, unlike English, German etc.). d.rast wxGUI works if I set the
 "system locale" to English or German (I tried with German too).

 So something needs to be done about getting wxGUI working when System
 Locale is set to Japanese (and/or Chinese, Korean).
