 Replying to [comment:7 mmetz]:
 > Display commands are run through gcmd.!RunCommand() which in turn calls
 grass.script.core.start_command() which in turn calls
 grass.script.core.Popen(). Non-display commands invoked through wxGUI are
 run through gcmd.Popen().

 it's not a question of display or non-display commands.
 `gcmd.!RunCommand()` is used when the GUI waits for command termination.
 In opposite `gcmd.Popen()` is used through `gcmd.CommandThread` which is
 basically reserved for the commands running on the background (eg. those
 launched from wxGUI command prompt).
