 Having forced addons to install as per Ticket #2598 (still with
 grass7.0.1svn-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-21_02_2015), GRASS fails to start,
 due to what appears to be an issue when creating menu items for the
 addons.

 The terminal output is as follows:

 Changing the name of the ~/.grass7/addons/modules.xml file allows GRASS to
 start fine (but obviously with no addon menu items) and the addons appear
 to start fine also (i.e. their gui's are created when calling up addons at
 the terminal).
