 Oh, I understand what you are saying now. And very much disagree -- if a
 user runs 'r.in.gdal' they should get the real r.in.gdal. They are not
 going to type/guess that name by mistake. If the GUI-wizard version is
 presenting itself by that name, then the trouble is there.

 Or do it like 'g.mapsets -s' to launch the extra GUI. (I don't think
 that's a wonderful solution either, but..)

 I'm not excited about the following name, but if it's a wizard perhaps use
 a different name like "g.gui.raster_import" or some other way to start it,
 then let the users of the GUI get used to that name.
 or maybe "g.gui launch=raster_import"
 or "g.gui wizard=raster_import"
 or "g.gui.wizard raster_import" ??
