 I need to use the id field of the options object when I add a layer, to
 easily retrive the layer object through the API getLayer, but I verified
 with Firebug that this id is not effectively stored anywhere. The test of
 this is that when I call getLayer using this id, I receive a null object.
 Similarly to this, when I use OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.Post to add a layer,
 setting the id field in the options object gives me in runtime the
 following error:

 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'addEventType' of null
 OpenLayers.Layer.Grid.OpenLayers.Class.initializeOpenLayers.js:1059
 OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.OpenLayers.Class.initializeOpenLayers.js:1583

 Could you please give me some clarifications for this behaviour? And if I
 do something wrong?
 Thanks in advance
