 Hi,

 after installing the latest 6.4.3svn nightly build on a Windows7 machine,
 and double clicking on the new desktop icon to launch the wxGUI, there's
 an empty dosbox just sitting there on the screen.

 this is a regression from 6.4.2; ISTR that the place in the nsi installer
 where the icons are created is where you can tell it to auto-minimize the
 dosbox (you can also do it manually by right clicking on the "GRASS GIS
 $ver" icon Properties and selecting minimize from a drop-down menu). But
 really it should do like the tcl/tk GUI does from the Windows start menu
 and just flash one up and then have it go away (and even then, telling the
 one that flashes up to be minimized by default would be less
 disconcerting/more professional than seeing a black box blink by).


 thanks,
 Hamish
