Comment:

 > Should this go into 6.4.svn or 7.0.x?

 yes, it should go into 6.4.svn at some point.

 I'm not sure what I meant by "more [cleanup] proposed for trunk", but of
 course some solution is needed there too if it sees the same bug. someone
 running windows should be able to check if their `C:\Documents and
 Settings\$USER\Local Settings\Temp` (or similar) is full of old grass .ppm
 files.

 looking at r56444 I'm reminded about this: "FIXME: the second RunCommand()
 here locks up the GUI, need to use 'xkill' to recover."

 which makes cairo unusable from the wxGUI on Grass 6.x (!). (#943)
 but that's another matter (help required by process-signals-on-Windows
 expert).
