The reason for that is very simple. D_cell ist just an image of whatever you
displayed on the monitor. This could be a raster or vector file but also
justtext, a 3d view or icons. Thus, it's not georeferenced and it's region
is defined by the number of rows and columns only, like a raw image. Hope
this helps.Stefan Jaeger currently at

That makes sense to me -- what I don't see is why g.region rast=D_cell
should work!
