cmd line control for the wx displays would be cool.

Note that you can still use the d.* commands in combination with any image viewer (I've had good experience with gqview, for exemple, but any viewer which refreshes on file changes will do) or with Glynn's ximgview [1] which reacts much faster to changes then gqview, "but" for which you have to create bmp files. None of this allows d.* manipulation of the GUI Map Display, but it mirrors the x-mons. You can even have several such "monitors" by creating different file with export GRASS_PNGFILE and calling several instances of ximgview (or another viewer of your choice) to display the different files.

It should not be too hard to create wrapper scripts which emulate some sort of d.mon behaviour, possibly storing the image files in a temporary, hidden directory to keep things transparent.
