The GUI name is case-sensitive - use wxpython (all lowercase).
Also, if you need to start or restart the GUI within GRASS, run g.gui
with the name of the GUI.
To change it outside of GRASS, edit the file ~/.grassrc6.

Many thanks to all who responded. Installing TclTk 8.5 put an end to

Unfortunately, I then got Nick's problem -- impossible to resize a
window,
plus some freezes. So I tried something evidently more severe than I
had
realized -- resetting GRASS_GUI to wxPtyhon. I probably did this
with the
g.gisenv command, although I'm not sure. Anyway, when I attempt to
launch I
now get
ERROR: Invalid user interface specified - <wxPython>.
Use the --help option to see valid interface names.
logout
[Process completed]
The terminal window displaying that message accepts no further
input. I
can't figure out how to use that --help option, or how to change
GRASS_GUI
without being able to start GRASS. I reinstalled to no avail.
How do I fix this? And then, how can set it up for wxPython?
Thanks much
Michael

When you say X11, I assume you mean no GUI, or maybe the GUI in X11?
Note, there are 2 different GUIs now, and on OSX, 2 variations of
one:
TclTk X11 - works with an X11 TclTk 8.4+. This requires you to
compile and install your own TclTk. I used to include one in the
application, but not since we got it working with Aqua
TclTk Aqua - as the warning implies, this needs TclTk 8.5+. The
readme says where to find an installer. This one is preferred.
wxPython. This is included in the application.
Note 1: the TclTk NVIZ is built to use TclTk Aqua 8.5 and won't run
with 8.4 of any form.
Note 2: the application startup tries to locate TclTk in some default
locations and of forms in the following order:
TclTk 8.5 Aqua
TclTk 8.5 X11
TclTk 8.4 X11
Anyways, after GRASS starts and Wish fails, type in the Terminal:
g.gisenv set=GRASS_GUI=text
Thereafter GRASS won't try to start the TclTk GUI.
