[QGIS-user] Using GRASS' shell from within QGIS

[Agustin Lobo]

Nikos,

I think that this is again a consequence of the different point of
view of developers and users: from a user point of view, this is
clearly a bug, it's something that does not work as expected.

The "solution" I'm using is just opening an xterm with xterm &
and can work
from the new terminal with no problem. But this is just a temporary 
solution. May be we should at least document the problem and
the workaround, the current situation causes lots of frustration
to newcomers.
