I have been a command-line bigot forever, and rarely use the d.m or gis.m
features of GRASS --- I once tried gis.m and liked what I saw, but don't
use it routinely, and indeed haven't tried it in a few weeks. As for
d.m, my first command on starting GRASS is typically "File->Exit" in d.m.
After all this talk of revamping GRASS so that the X displays can go away, I
decided to try out gis.m again lest I fall so far behind the times that
GRASS becomes unusable for me overnight. Using grass-6.1 cvs updated last
night, I get:
gis.m
Error in startup script: bad event type or keysym "ConfigureRequest"
while executing
"bind .mapcan($mon) <ConfigureRequest> {
set wstack %d
puts "stack is $wstack"
puts "mouse click $mon"
}"
(procedure "MapCanvas::create" line 117)
invoked from within
"MapCanvas::create"
(procedure "Gm::startmon" line 11)
invoked from within
"Gm::startmon"
(procedure "Gm::create" line 96)
invoked from within
"Gm::create"
(procedure "main" line 29)
invoked from within
"main $argc $argv"
(file "/usr/local/grass-6.1.cvs/etc/gm/gm.tcl" line 777)
Any hints on where to look for what's wrong here? Could this be a tcl/tk
versioning issue? (I'm using tcl/tk 8.3, although I do have tcl 8.4 installed
--- just not set up so that configure finds it, coz once upon a time 8.4 was
unusable with grass.)

Google to the rescue. Yes, ConfigureRequest is something that is only present
in tcl 8.4.
If this incompatibility with tcl/tk 8.3 is necessary for proper function of
gis.m, the various install documents should ultimately be updated, and
perhaps configure should not accept tcl/tk 8.3 anymore.
Re-adjusting my tcl/tk 8.3 vs. 8.4 install and letting grass use 8.4 fixed
gis.m.

I confirm - until today I could start gis.m, now I can't. I'm on Ubuntu
thus using tcl/tk 8.3 due to 8.4 doesn't work with NVIZ. Will I have to
install 8.4 and fiddle around with it to make gis.m work?

No. gis.m shouldn't be binding ConfigureRequest in the first place, as
it will never receive this event. Just delete the corresponding "bind"
command from the gis.m source.
[The only way that a Tk application can receive ConfigureRequest
events is if it uses C code to add the SubstructureRedirectMask bit to
a window's event mask.]
