[Qgis-developer] apply a cloned renderer to replicate styling

[G. Allegri]

Hi Larry.
I've done it programmatically, passing the renderer clone (V2 or not) to
the other layer, updating the legendlayer and refreshing the canvas. I
suppose those actions will trigger a similar flow of things.
In my case it wouldn't be enough because I should avoid changing the
activeLayer. In my method I pass the layer reference...

thanks anyway, because it's a useful GUI tool ;)
