Yes, I used that.
But QGis reacts kind of slowly. Therefore, I wanted to do it in GRASS 
natively.
To my humbly opinion a desktopn GIS should have this feature 
out-of-the-box. QGIS has it, gvSIG has it. Why is it difficult in GRASS?

The solutions presented above are inflexible workarounds.

Can we have this a wish for the next GRASS version?

Kind regards,
