[OpenLayers-Users] Switching to singleTile mode (and back) on the fly

I've just tried this and don't quite get the result I expect.  If I
change the property displayInLayerSwitcher after a layer has been
added to the map, nothing happens, even if I call
layerSwitcher.redraw().

Is there a way to add or remove a layer from the layer switcher after
the layer has been added to the map?

Thanks, Jon
