 > Not good. This method was used some years ago, but it makes the GUI even
 slower than it is already. Therefore v.category was no longer used to get
 the vector's layers. v.db.connect is usually very fast, but v.category
 takes some time for a larger vector.

 any other suggestion? Store number of layers in header file?
