 Replying to [comment:12 cmbarton]:
 > Remind me again why the parser was changed so that a module does not
 open a GUI window when it is called from the command line and there are no
 required parameters.

 Because it's a nuisance having e.g. "d.erase" pop up a parameter dialog
 (or getting an error message about $DISPLAY not being set). It's also a
 nuisance having to type "d.erase bgcolor=none" when that's the default.

 The --ui flag exists if you specifically want a parameter dialog to be
 displayed.
