 When vector module window is opened there is significant (up to 6 seconds
 for Spearfish PERMANENT!) delay when opening list of available vector maps
 and no visual feedback to user that something is still happening. In
 comparison gis.m displays vector map list instantly. If after first click
 on vector map list drop-down menu user clicks on something else, list is
 not displayed. This may lead to wrong conclusions that there are no vector
 maps or wxgui is completely broken. After drop-down list has been
 displayed for first time, there is no delay on subsequent displaying.

 Windows Vista running WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r41233-1
