Comment (by cgsbob):

 I decided to get brave and dive into the QGIS code :-)  I know...my
 changes are very basic.

 Anyways...I changed src/plugins/grass/qgsgrassshell.cpp so that I'm able
 to get the gui when I start a GRASS command without any arguments and I
 set the GIS_LOCK to the process id, so I can run GRASS' d.* commands.

 Maybe I should submit a separate ticket and suggest that the GRASS Shell
 should have a configuration file that would allow GRASS power users to set
 up their own GRASS environment?
