Great job!
LayerViewSet now works without having to manually change the canvas type.
It has gone back to function similar to 4.0.6 stable, requiring the cursorto enter the GLCanvas window to see the layer updates.
In the case of LayerViewSet, pcbnew.UpdateUserInterface() must be called within the script after pcbnew.GetBoard().SetVisibleLayers(). And when Ido so, the interface flickers (particularly the top tool box "F.Cu (PgUp)"layer indicator). Ideally, there'd be a visually cleaner way to do this, but it isvery functional at the moment.
When the cursor enters the GLCanvas window, the layers are redrawn. I suspectthe issue requires a call to SwapBuffers, but it is a common issue with 4.0.6 stable.

In rev a557838c615c9b268830138348c6a8d6a4cc9ba9 I fixed the issue about incorrect user interface
update after running a Action Plugin.

When running a Action Plugin, there is no need to update something, the Action Plugin manager takes
care of that (manages the undo stack, and updates the GUI and the canvas).
