[GRASS-user] d.mon error (X11 problem?)

[Vaclav Petras]

Hi Lee,

this is bit off topic but you mentioned that you are returning to GRASS,
and as d.mon user you may be interested in the fact that in GRASS 7 there
is no `d.mon x0` but `d.mon wx0` which is wxPython-based and in fact
similar to Map Display in the main GRASS GUI (wxGUI).
