#1068: unnecessary error information at GRASS startup

Reporter: msieczka | Owner: grass-dev@…

Comment(by wenzeslaus):
Leaving as ''wontfix'' but note that there are some people that really
think that a user should not be scarred by application's messages:
Messages should be:
* ...
* Informative and constructive. Tell the user the reason for a problem
and help on how to solve the problem.
* Polite, non-terrifying and non-blaming. Avoid wording that terrifies
the user ("fatal", "illegal"), blames him for his behavior, and be polite.
