I don't confirm, using fresh 6.3 CVS on Ubuntu 6.06.1 Dapper

For me saving to ppm and tiff work OK. Saving to max res ppm however
results in over 40 black or corrupted ppms, some of them ahving the
'tmp' in their name, like if they were some remainments of temporary files.

Anyway, I cannot confirm other of your problems.

For a wild guess, I tried changing my shell from bash to dash, wchich
Ubuntu 6.10 uses by default. This doesn't brake anything either. Both
bash and dash let the startup gui, gis.m and nviz run fine.
