Hi Devs-

Currently, we have no fewer than 4 (four!) locations where the ratsnest 
display option can be toggled.  (left toolbar, view menu, preferences 
and layers widget)

I'd like to drop that number down to 1-2.  Right now, fiddling with the 
ratsnest is, well, a ratsnest of code.  Reducing the places where you 
can set this will improve the situation.

Right now, I'm thinking layer widget and preferences.  The layer widget 
is useful because it lets you set the color of the ratsnest in addition 
to visibility and preferences because there's some logic to it being a 
preference.

What do folks think of consolidating these?  Like it?  Hate it?  
Indifferent?

Thanks-
Seth
