 Advanced users can launch r.in.gdal's autogenerated dialog from wxGUI
 command prompt by running `r.in.gdal --ui`.

 Moreover running `r.in.gdal` from wxGUI command line should also launch
 GUI front-end. The autogenerated dialog should appear only when `--ui`
 switch is used. Similarly for the other modules which have special
 frontend, e.g. `i.group`. From my personal experience, the user in the
 class were very confused when they got different GUI dialog when running
 `i.group` from the menu and command prompt.
