Individual GRASS monitors identified

GRASS GRASS user

Recently I needed to display several maps simultatneously
in separate GRASS monitors. I moved the monitors around a lot, and
lost track of which monitor was which.

I would like to be able to identify from the frame of each
GRASS monitor by the number of the monitor, say
GRASS 4.1 x0, GRASS 4.1 x1, ... instead of all having GRASS 4.1.

If this was possible, when I want to select a given monitor at a
particular screen location with say "d.mon sel=x4", I would not
be guessing which monitor was desried.

I recall in a set of GRASS shortcourse notes a freind let
me borrow some time back that this was a relatively simple fix to the
system. Is anyone aware of how this could be accomplished?

Thanks for your time, and more importantly your thoughts.

what updates are you using? what version of X11 libraries are you using
to compile? what window manager are you using?

Under mwm (and presumably under others), this information is displayed
in the title bar (e.g., "GRASS 4.1 - Monitor: x0"). However, if you
used X11R3, you will not get this (look at line 160 or so in
src/display/devices/XDRIVER/XDRIVER/Graph_Set.c)
