 I don't agree. I don't think the wizard should replace the module GUI. It
 should make initial use easier and by that cover a large majority of use
 cases, but why program a whole new wizard interface which at the end
 replicates the GUI module.

 I just sent a message to grass-dev & grass-psc as I think this merits a
 more fundamental discussion beyond this specific bug report. In this
 specific case, I plead for:

 * give a specific name to the wizards
 * don't open wizard when module is called by name
 * add option to open module GUI from wizard
