I have asked a question on a related note in Trac [3], but haven't got a
reply so let me repeat it here:

Having added wxversion.select('2.8') in line 64 of
gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py to force wxgui to pick version 2.8 I got
rid of the "Required argument 'type' (pos 2) not found" errors in
profile surface map, bivariate scatter plot and histogram of raster map
tools on my box.

I confirmed that all GRASS wxgui uses 2.8.12.1 then, rather than 3.0.2,
which is available on my system as well, with "cat /proc/<pid>/maps",
where <pid> > is the PID of the g.gui.* process.

Can't GRASS use this workaround for the time being? You may also want to
have a look at Glynn's comments in another thread from few years ago [4].
