Wouldn't patching all the created vector maps together and then displaying
just the one the right thing to do?

d.vect needs to draw the image somewhere.

d.mon wx0 has a toolbar similar to the one in Map Display. You should be
able to use the various zoom buttons there as well as mouse wheel.

GUI doesn't know about what is happening in your Python script and it is
not connected to the rendering/monitor system. d.mon serves this role.

As I said, d.vect needs to draw the image somewhere.

I'm not sure if I understand what behavior you actually expect to see.
