Subject: d.vect.area: linecolor= should default to 'none'

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: Mirror of Trento site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.0.0

d.vect.area uses a default linecolor= of black, which doesn't look good (artificially
subtractive) unless you have specifically used "d.erase color=xxxx" first. It
should instead default to 'none', which happens to be faster as well.

Yes? No?

No.  This is a personal preference issue.  However, I think it is less
confusing for users to have it default to drawing area boundaries.
Otherwise, they'll start asking why d.vect.area just draws the whole
screen white (the default fill color).  And since white is the default
fill color, black seems the natural line color.  Using black also
works for the random fill, since it doesn't use black as a fill color.

If people want finer control, it's there in the form of "legend" files.
And, as you noted, linecolor=none turns off the line drawing as well.
