it's not really related to this issue. Anyway it would be probably
good idea to rename all environmental variables related to rendering,
e.g. GRASS_WIDTH to GRASS_DISPLAY_WIDTH, GRASS_DISP_WIDTH, or
GRASS_RENDER_WIDTH and so on.

The variable GRASS_PNGFILE is also very misleading name, it's not used
only for producing PNG files. Cairo driver supports many formats which
are given by filename extension, so probably GRASS_DISPLAY_FILE would
be better.

What do you think?
