 I improved the patch and submitted. I suppose all these improvements
 should be backported to the new 7.2 release branch?

PS: if you have a SVN copy locally, no need to download again if it is

To me this sounds quite reasonable.

 Sorry for that, my first experience with uploading patches. So I uploaded
 one .diff file from grass7_trunk root directory which contains differences
 of all files I had changed during bug fixing. Is it correct now?

 Agreed - but most users will just take the default (sigh).

 > If we do change, I think that my favorite candidate for default would
 then be grey. This avoids color blindness issues, works for most
 applications and at the same time, in our modern color-oriented computing
 world, does provoke users to chose another one.

 This might be counter-productive and scare away users ("... oh, it cannot
 even show a color map!").

 But there are other options as well.

 Choice of color table is one of the most important parts of cartography. I
 always tell my students to never use the default colors of any software.
 And that even though I don't know why rainbow was chosen, I like it
 because it is so blatantly bad that it forces the user to make a
 deliberate choice of another color table ;-).

 So, I'm not sure I see the need to change that.

 If we do change, I think that my favorite candidate for default would then
 be grey. This avoids color blindness issues, works for most applications
 and at the same time, in our modern color-oriented computing world, does
 provoke users to chose another one.
