GRASS Plugin: Map name input field not working correctly for modules that take multiple input maps

[benducke]

E.g.: open the "r.patch" module dialog. You will see the "Type in map names .." field, which works just fine. But the "[...]" browse button takes the user to a "Save As" dialog, which is completely dysfunctional in this context. What it should open is a widget that allows users to select one or more maps in the current GRASS mapset. If that is too much work to go into QGIS 1.0.0, I'd suggest getting rid of that button altogether. It will be a little inconvenient for the user having to manually type in map names, but still better than popping up a misleading dialog.

I have tried:

svn diff src/plugins/grass/modules

but this leads to a selector (no more free text field). Maybe there is something else than "file" or "option" which creates a free text field without the button behind it?

Fixed in r10945. See the r.path.qgm module to use the new feature into the other modules that require it.
