Comment (by hcho):

 Not only in GUI, it happens in d.mon wx0 as well (command line monitor).
 Flags -p and -g don't work both in g.gui GUI and d.mon WX monitors. They
 only work for direct cairo and png. Would it be difficult to fix -p & -g
 in GUI & d.mon WX monitors?

 Also, I don't understand why forcing the default position at the center
 (50%,50%) would make sure the entire text is rendered without being cut
 off. We're losing a lot more space by placing text at the center instead
 of starting it from the upper-left corner. We also lost the capability of
 starting from the default upper-left corner because now we have to guess
 where that would be and type it in the at option. That's not ideal at all.
