By the way, the -gtext option is not relevant. It merely shows the
welcome/logo screen when launching a GRASS GIS session, then jumps back
to the command line.

GRASS GIS remembers which option you used last time. That means, `grass
-gui` will be the "default": next time you execute `grass` it will
launch the GUI.

If you change your mind and do `grass -text`, this will the "default"
for next time you execute `grass`: it will launch only a command line
GRASS GIS session.

If you do `grass -gtext` it will end up with a command line session, not
the GUI.

Please correct me if I am mistaken.
