+1 from me on making the Render button default behavior.
I tell students to turn it on the first thing they open GRASS
to avoid the questions that Markus is talking about.
Automatic rendering was one of the main reasons I switched
the class to wxGUI this semester.
I haven't had any complaints that it is slow so far.
Related to that I noticed that some commands (I forgot now which)
have a button that allows users to automatically load the results
into the layer manager and if you have Rendering on that means it
renders the resulting map upon finishing the computation -
this is a very nice feature too that would be great to have for more
modules,
but it in this case it should not be the default behavior (it is good
as it is, it would just be nice to have it available for more modules)
