[GRASS5] GUI code cleanup patch

[Michael Barton]

Cedric,

I am so glad to hear that you are working on the GUI. I have some cosmetic
changes to gui.tcl that made modules a little more visually consistent with
the GIS Manager, but I'd been holding off until the new GIS Manager is
finished with testing. I'll send these to you, but what  you're doing is
much more sophisticated. Thanks very much.

Michael
