This is common. It is a timing problem. d.mon tries to select
the monitor twice (if it fails the first time). Try running d.erase
to see if the select actaully worked. Or use thius sequence
  d.mon -s start=x0 # start, but don't select
  d.mon select=x0

Well, I tried this, the monitor window appeared to stay for a little longer
(probably a second before disappearing) but one could not then select it
