I am not sure if you are using the proper variables. The env_vars.html at
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/gdp/html_grass5/env_vars.html

says:
XDRIVER_HEIGHT 
[d.mon] 
  defines the height of GRASS monitor 

XDRIVER_WIDTH 
[d.mon] 
  defines the width of GRASS monitor 

So far MONITOR_HEIGHT and MONITOR_WIDTH don't exist as far as I know.
Where did you found them referenced?

Maybe above fixes your problem?
