Hi,

These are a couple of new errors that I found today. Clicking the'About Grass' menu option in the
gis.m Help menu produces the following errors in a tcl/tk pop-up dialog, after which an empty
tcltk window opens with "About" in the titlebar:

wrong # args: should be "setfont source"
    while executing
"setfont .helptext.frame $help_font"
    (procedure "Gm::helptext" line 14)
    invoked from within
"Gm::helptext {About GRASS} {-width 75} {-justify left} $text"
    (file "/usr/local/grass-6.3.svn/etc/gm/grassabout.tcl" line 96)
    invoked from within
"source /usr/local/grass-6.3.svn/etc/gm/grassabout.tcl"
    invoked from within
".#menubar.#menubar#menu7 invoke active"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke active]"
    (procedure "tk::MenuInvoke" line 50)
    invoked from within
"tk::MenuInvoke .#menubar.#menubar#menu7 1"
    (command bound to event)

The 'About System' produces a new kind of error than the one reported a few weeks ago; when
this menu option is selected, the following error is printed to the system terminal:

Error in startup script: couldn't read file "/usr/local/grass-6.3.svn/etc/gtcltk/gmlib.tcl": no such file or directory
    while executing
"source $env(GISBASE)/etc/gtcltk/gmlib.tcl"
    (file "/usr/local/grass-6.3.svn/etc/gm/tksys.tcl" line 16)

Fixed now in the SVN
