     32== GRASS GIS IPython Examples ==
     33
     34* Problem
     35Using the Processing (SEXTANTE) Toolbox in QGIS breaks GRASS's startup history file, which causes the IPython examples to fail.
     36
     37* Solution
     38Users will have to start GRASS and reset the main GIS Database path to <tt>/home/user/grassdata</tt>, then start in a GRASS session and exit from it again. The new startup history file is saved upon exiting from the GRASS terminal session.
