no way to set icon parameter through d.vect menu

[vincent]

Add a vector map, the d.vect dialog opens, then go to "Symbols" thumb. Point & centroid symbol property is set by default to basic/x. Seems the pulldown menu has disappeared, instead only an odd little square appears. Clicking on the latter produces this message :

Traceback (most recent call last):

self.folderChoice = wx.Choice(mainPanel, id = wx.ID_ANY,
choices = os.listdir(self.symbolPath))
OSError

Is it looking for this path? /usr/local/grass-6.4.3svn/etc/symbol

Once symbols directory pasted or linked to the right place (etc/gui/images/symbols/), d.vect dialog shows the symbol preview successfully.
