Comment (by lutra):

 Made a further test with the osgeo4w installer (using qgis 1.2) on windows
 xp.

 A first try to use a grass command in the shell returned the following


 {{{
 C:\>v.in.ogr
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File
 "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\GRASS-~1.0SV/etc/wxpython/gui_modules/menuform.py"

     cmdout = p.sub(globalvar.ETCDIR + r'/grass-interface.dtd', cmdout)

     template = _compile_repl(template, pattern)

     raise error, v # invalid expression
 sre_constants.error: bad group name
 }}}


 as it seemed to try use the wxpyhton interface, then I uninstalled
 everything and reinstalled without wx-pyhton. This way the GRASS tcltk
 interface still works, but this time the grass shell under qgis does
 nothing


 {{{
 C:\>v.in.ogr
 C:\>
 }}}


 but it is still able to recognize wrong commands.
