Could this be backported to 6.2.3:
http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass6/lib/gis/color_hist.c.diff?r1=2.3&r2=2.4
It doesn't look very intrusive, but sure is helpful. Without it the grey.log rule in r.colors distributes the colors between 0 and 255 and not between min and max values of the map.

[Actually, the old version maps 1 -> black and max -> white.]
That patch will work on its own, but it amounts to an incompatible
change to the behaviour of r.colors.
Even if the existing behaviour is undesirable, suddenly changing it in
a minor revision may be more undesirable. There are cases where the
existing behaviour is "adequate" (i.e. where min/max is small), and
the incompatibility would be a nuisance (e.g. having to re-do existing
graphics to maintain consistency).

Another fix which should be backported to 6.2.3 IMHO:
http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass6/gui/tcltk/gis.m/gmtree.tcl.diff?r1=1.16&r2=1.17
At least the part concerning opening a Map Display automatically if none is open. AFAICT, this is just the following small change:

I have backported this one.
