[Qgis-developer] Questions around xyz tile server connections in master 2

[Neumann, Andreas]

So I found out that http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png seems
to work. 

However, if I add this OSM layer to my Swiss QGIS project (EPSG:21781) -
the swiss data seems to appear in the atlantic, west of "Guinea
Ecuatorial" ;-(

I added the layer to the project --> nothing happened. No display, no error message. Maybe because the projections do not match? - or would QGIS reproject on the fly?
