 Right, I didn't try that path. And yes, the patch tries to prevent the GUI
 from calling g.mapset with an illegal filename. But should the GUI do such
 checks if the module already provides them ? Shouldn't the GUI just pass
 on the string correctly and let the module handle the error ? Especially
 if we might decide one day that mapsets should be able to have special
 characters in their names ?
