"The 'reproject' option on WMS layers caused a number of problems by
being turned on by default. As a result, this has been turned off by
default. If you are using WMS layers over Google layers, you can
re-enable the 'reproject' option by setting the option on the layer to
true."

The Spherical Mercator layer type works with ka-Map, but will require
different setup -- different projection. See
http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/SphericalMercator for some more info.
