 This works. I've just tried this in Python. It was very helpful, by the
 way.

 However, I don't know how to support this in GUI.

 1) It is env variable not gisenv variable, so it is per-process. GUI
 cannot set it for command line. Two solutions:
  * set the variable on grass start-up (the safe way, but still, I don't
 know how to transfer the wxGUI settings to start-up script)
  * change this to gisenv variable (consequences?)

 2) Where to put the check in the GUI?

 3) Do we even need to support this in GUI (it is a very special thing)?
 Can we close this ticket as fixed now?
