Subject: tcltkgrass menu system says xterm not found with Xfree 4.0

Platform: Linux/Intel
Linux distro: Mandrake
linux cpu: AMD (K6, ...)
Xwindows version: Xfree 4.0.x
Xwindows manager: KDE 2.x
TclTk version: tcl/tk 8.3
grass downloaded at: Hannover site
grass binary for platform: Linux/Intel binaries

Hello.

Excuse my poor written english. I found two bugs.

* The first bug was using the tcltkgrass menu system to display data. When I
try to do 'display -> monitors -> start -> X0' or other, grass5 says xterm 
not found. In the grass shell it works perfectly 'd.mon start=x0'. I think 
it is because xfree 4.0 maybe comes without xterm. Then I did install 
xterm.rpm from Internet and the problem disapeared.

* The second bug is that all operations with mapcalc returns me images 
without data. I think it is because i have installed a precompiled version 
for i686 when I work with an AMD K6-2, that is an i586. All the other 
functions except mapcalc works fine.

Thanks.

All versions of XFree86 include xterm. Some distribution vendors may
choose not to include it in their core "X clients" package (e.g. 
because you could use rxvt or similar instead).

There might be a case for adding yet another environment variable,
e.g. GRASS_XTERM, to allow the user to select a different terminal
emulator program. Then we can argue about which should be the default
when multiple candidates are installed ;)
