[Qgis-developer] rendering behavior options not available

[John C. Tull]

Here is a patch to allow that option to be set on OS X systems. It does not get at the root concern about unavailable items being present in the gui.

And speaking of gui issues on OS X, can you confirm if the Help menu item is not showing up as the third item from the right in the menubar? That is so for me, but it should be the rightmost item.

There is a QGIS render preference to turn on/off layers by default when adding them to a project, but it is greyed out (and checked on), along with the other render behavior options, # features to draw and render cache (unchecked).  I think it's always been greyed out as far back as I can remember.
