 It doesn't seems to me. I Just checked on the latest qgis-dev version
 installed with the osgeo4w package, and I found all the problems described
 in this ticket.

 I first get a "ERROR: G_getenv(): Variable GRASS_GUI not set" then I
 played around with the GRASS installation (osgeo4w installs both the tcltk
 and wxpython GRASS interfaces) and went back to the qgis GRASS plugin.

 I then get the same error reported above (if GRASS is configured to start
 with the wxpython interface) or nothing at all (if GRASS is configured to
 start with the tcltk interface).

 Again the only situation that the shell seems to work is if you issue a
 command together with its own parameters. No way to get the GRASS
 interface pop up by just issuing the command name.
