Hi all,
I always thought it would be nice to have a "info" button on gism, so
it wouldn't be necessary to go all the way down the menus to get to
r.info or v.info (it's a long way..), so I made this little hack in
the tcl code. If you want to try, just replace raster.tcl and
vector.tcl in $GRASS/etc/gm, and the gif icon goes to
$GRASS/etc/gui/icons.
hope you enjoy and don't mind about me messing around.
cheers
carlos

Carlos,
I think that this is very nice. I have only 2 suggestions:
1) make the icon 24x24 to match the size of all other icons (just add more
white border or make it 24x24 with a transparent background). This would
make its button match all the others.
2) name the icon gui-rv.info.gif, or make 2 icons--one for each command. The
convention is that icons named module-* actually run real GRASS modules. So,
you could have module-r.info.gif and module-v.info.gif (and make them
identical) or have a special GUI module named gui-rv.info.gif.
If others think also think this is handy, we should go ahead and put them in
the cvs.

I think it would be useful functionality.
