Subject: d.m will not display remotely

Platform: Mac OSX
grass obtained from: CVS
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 6.1.cvs

d.m is no longer displaying when started remotely through ssh -X. d.mon x0 seems ok, it fires up
the expected display window with the message:

GRASS 6.1.cvs (minnesota_utm):~ > d.mon x0
using default visual which is TrueColor
ncolors: 16777216
Graphics driver [x0] started

However, d.m or d.m & result in the following message:

GRASS 6.1.cvs (minnesota_utm):~ > X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty)
  Atom id in failed request: 0xb5
  Serial number of failed request: 11
  Current serial number in output stream: 11

For what it is worth gis.m seems to behave in the same mannor:

GRASS 6.1.cvs (minnesota_utm):~ > gis.m
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty)
  Atom id in failed request: 0xb5
  Serial number of failed request: 11
  Current serial number in output stream: 11
GRASS 6.1.cvs (minnesota_utm):~ >

I'm guessing that this is an issue with "wish". It's impossible to say
any more than that based upon the above details; atom 0x5b (91) isn't
predefined (only 1 through 68 are predefined).

Can you run wish by itself (or any other Tcl/Tk programs) remotely?

I hate to have to sound this stupid but you can't hide from the truth...

I'm not sure what you mean by run wish. I tried the following:

truffula:/usr/include kwythers$ wish8.4
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
   Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
   Atom id in failed request: 0xb5
   Serial number of failed request: 12
   Current serial number in output stream: 15

If that is what you meant, it looks to be the same error as d.m gave from GRASS.

Also, can you suggest a simple tcltk program to try remotely (an equivalent to xclock)?

That's exactly what I meant.

Not offhand, although that is no longer necessary.

The problem applies to running wish (the Tcl/Tk interpreter), and will
affect all Tcl/Tk programs. There isn't anything that d.m or gis.m can
do to work around it.
