you need to do something like:
d.mon x0
g.region vect=yourmap
d.vect yourmap
d.labels labelfile

will.

and it's a lat/lon region, with the map in the same coordinate system, right?
g.region -p  or   g.proj -p

sure, if it is that it is probably pretty simple to fix. but it takes someone
who knows (or is willing to learn) Tcl/Tk to find it.
