IT is not necessary to use trjconv -pbc before running most gromacs 
analysis tools. they have built-in support to move atom back if they 
appear at the other side.

they are two separate stuff: specify pbc=full or pbc=xyz in mdp indicate 
that the simulation is carried out with PBC so that atoms which moves 
out of the box will appear on the other side of the box; trjconv -pbc 
nojump is a post-processing step, meant for visualization or analysis 
tools not provided by GROMACS.
