If you replace the latter with

GRASS_GUI: tcltk

it should work.

This is linked to Hamish' changes to allow a more precise choice of gui:

http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass-commit/2006-November/024978.html

GRASS_GUI: gis.m works for me in 6.3, but I don't think these changes 
were backported to 6.2. So if you work in a mixed 6.2/6.3 environment, 
this might break things (i.e. launching grass with the -tcltk command in 
6.3 automatically puts 'gis.m' in the GRASS_GUI variable, but 6.2 does 
not recognize this value).
