Hi Iñigo. Here is the solution that I got from Dick Martin. I've also included
several emails about this that were passed over the WinGrass list at the end.
Apparently the problem lies in the new version of X.
Good luck.

The answer from Dick Martin that worked for me:
If your on localhost with a single monitor, try this. Change the second line
in the grass60.bat to: SET DISPLAY=:0. Don't omit the colon between the =
sign and 0.

Hi,
I've recently installed 6.0 on W2000 and now I´m having the same
problem
(on two different PCs).Looking to the list I didn´t find any answers to this question, so
I've
decided to ask you.Have you been able to solve the problem?
Thanks
Iñigo
I think your right! My release is 6.8.2.0-1, released on 2005-2-23 -- but,
there where three releases in February, 6.8.2.0-1 included.

Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 10:55:27 -0600Then, I think the problem happens only with the recent X versions
because mine works fine with a one month old cygwin stuff. What X
version do you have?Thank you.

Asunto: [GRASSLIST:6186] display manager and monitorsI'm having an issue with the display manager and display monitors.
I'm
running H.Cho's 6.1.cvs under cygwin on an XP machine, but this
started
with 6.0 a week or so ago.The problem is that when I attempt to display any map through the
display manager, it freezes and crashes grass. I have tried opening
up
a monitor first (d.mon x?), both through the manager and the command
line, but I get the same result when I try to use the display manager.
I am able to open a monitor and then display a map from the command
line
only. I originally thought this was an issue with my data, but this
continues to happen with the spearfish test set as well.Is there any reason that this should be happening? I have tried
installing on another machine, and the same problem occurs.Thanks.
