Jean-Pierre,


I have assumed responsibility for the work. According to Isaac he was 
finding it difficult to a) find time and to a lesser extent b) get his 
work accepted by me.

Well "first quarter" is a rather large window of time. The layer setup 
dialog is only a small part of what this vision entailed. (Layer 
selection and visibility widget is part of it also.) I'll see if I can 
push this forward during some of the weekends in December. I am 
confident I can get it done within your time window, even if that means 
pushing it out into January.


Most importantly, please know that I am committed to it, and you should 
start seeing progress again soon.


Dick
