 If i'm loading a postgis layer with python, like

 {{{
 uri = QgsDataSourceURI()
 uri.setConnection('host','port','mydb','public','')
 uri.setDataSource('public','foo','wkb_geometry','')
 layer = QgsVectorLayer(uri.uri(),'bar','postgres')
 QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(layer);
 }}}

 the new layer has no display name in the legend and its properties (print
 layer.name() has also no output). If i'm setting the name by using
 layer.setLayerName('bar'), the name is there, but it would be cool, if the
 constructor sets the name itsself like before.

 It works for raster data and it works also if i'm using the postgis
 connector tool.
