Comment(by hellik):

 Replying to [ticket:1019 neteler]:
 > The stacking order of the 'layer manager' window and the 'map display'
 windows are suboptimal: Currently on XP, Windows7 (more?) the wxGUI opens
 and the layer manager window is in the background which the empty map
 display overlaying it and hiding the menu.
