Yes! Exactly what I need. Thanks.


I've reworked lib/init/grass-run.src  (-> $GISBASE/etc/grass-run.sh)
see below

It still doesn't work 100% (from gis.m i.group doesn't find maps*,
r.digit can't find selected monitor), but it lets us have those modules
use G_parser().

[*] I_get_group_ref() fails if @mapset is attached to group name, I
should have this fixed soon.


To prevent the GUI startup from the command line, in each term-only module
we can add:
 
    /* must run in a term window */
    setenv("GRASS_UI_TERM","1",TRUE);

before  G_gisinit (argv[0]); 

ie these ones:

g.access
g.setproj
d.font
r.digit
r.le.setup
d.rast.edit
i.points
i.vpoints
i.ortho.photo
i.class


look ok?
