[Qgis-developer] Symbol properties dialog from plugin

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi Denis,

 The QgsRubberband was never meant as a full-featured rendering of 
 features. It was made to highlight features (e.g. selected features) or 
 to quickly draw an overlay.

 If you want full-featured rendering you can create a separate layer, or 
 a temporary MemoryLayer.
