Package: grass Followup-For: Bug #550196 Hi,
fyi this message: ================================================================= If you wish to resize the X monitor, do so now. Window size is locked while interactive modules are running. ================================================================= is from the lib/init/grass-run.src -> $GISBASE/etc/grass-run.sh script which is used to run modules from the GUI which require an X terminal to run. It also works around Debian's auth settings of clearing LD_LIBRARY_PATH for spawned terms. The gis.m Tcl/Tk startup GUI runs the g.setproj module to set up new locations from user entered parameters. The g.setproj module is an interactive terminal based program, so an xterm is opened by gis_set.tcl with: exec -- $env(GISBASE)/etc/grass-xterm-wrapper -name xterm-grass -e $env(GISBASE)/etc/grass-run.sh $env(GISBASE)/etc/set_data Finally, debiangis/grass/trunk/debian/patches/xterm.dpatch ensures that x-terminal-emulator will be the first term tried. the problem could be that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH work-around is not yet initialized at this point in the startup, or that gnome-terminal is somehow abusing that.
