 Apparently, at start up, the wxGUI tries to get interface descriptions of
 all addon modules. To do this, it (core/toolboxes.py) uses the name of the
 addon. However, some addons are not modules, but GUI toolboxes that might
 contain modules, and as such they do not provide interface descriptions.
 This is the case, for example, with wx.metadata and wx.mwprecip which lead
 to


 {{{
 WARNING: Some addons failed when loading. Please consider to update your
 addons by running 'g.extension.all -f'.
 }}}

 I don't really understand why this has to be called at all when the user
 does not have any toolboxes defined...

 Verified in trunk and release70.
