I was thinking to create the selected layers of one database when pressing the
add button in QGgsDbSourceSelect. Because the gui elements of dialog will be
the same to postgres databases and ogr databases, I was also thinking in add
a disconnect button to  close the actual connection being able to choose another
connection, maybe of different type and populate again the list of tables, being
possible to add another set of tables without closing the dialog.

This is the how postgres vector is added actually.
