 The '''Add PostGIS Table''' dialog box determines the type of each
 possible layer independently of displaying the list of possible layers,
 and then updates the 'Type' column in the dialog as the layer geometry
 type becomes available.

 For one of my databases, where there are several layers in different
 schema and on a slowish PostGIS server, it can take several seconds to
 determine all of the layer types.

 When the dialog is first displayed, all of the schema tree items are
 expanded. However, each time the type of a layer changes from 'Waiting' to
 the actual type, the schema tree is collapsed. If I'm quick enough and un-
 collapse it, the next row that gets it's geometry type updated causes a
 collapse again. That's rather unfriendly!
