This is one way, but not exactly what I was talking about. In fact, sometimes it is very useful to keep a dialog box open to rerun the same module repeatedly with different parameters.
What I meant is that once it is open, GRASS should not open additional dialogs for the same module but simply reuse the one that is open. That way you never get 5 windows for v.distance, only 1--even if you leave it open.
