This has something to do with the new startup. Could you plese tell me
exactly how you started grass, including any spaces. Also, try editing
the file etc/Init.sh and put the following line at line 209 (after the
"if [ ! "$LOCATION" ] ; then" line

echo "GUI = $GRASS_GUI"

and report what was printed for the GUI.

Thanks and we will try to find out what this problem is.
