I everybody,

testing g.gui.rlisetup I discovered that the .grass7 directory is created
only at the end of the first session that the user launch grass7.

This is a problem for modules like g.gui.rlisetup because they write on
.grass7 directory.

I added a patch to solve this issue, if you don't see any
contraindications I can submit it

Comment(by martinl):

Right, the '.grass7' directory is written on exit when storing '.rc' file
source:grass/trunk/lib/init/grass.py#L1379. Every session using copy of
'rc' file saved in temp file source:grass/trunk/lib/init/grass.py#L264.

Your patch seems to be reasonable. wxGUI behaves similarly
source:grass/trunk/gui/wxpython/core/settings.py#L989
