 Florian,

 I've tried your plugin and it seems to work with one test layer I have.

 While it does its job, I have some suggestions:

  * I really think that this should be implemented directly in qgis
 application, not as a plugin. It's not very intuitive for users. I
 recommend you to do it in QgisApp::addVectorLayers() function. The logic
 can be simple - if the layer has only one sublayer, keep it as is. If
 there are more sublayers, let the user choose which ones he would like to
 load.
  * use tree view (or widget) instead of table. Tree view with multiple
 columns and without decorated root items look much better than a table -
 despite the name, it's not necessary to use it just for trees :)
  * it would be better to support selects with shift and ctrl
  * it would be good to include also sublayer type (point/line/polygon) if
 possible
  * the patch you've posted is missing CMakeLists.txt and ogrsublayers.png
 in plugin's directory. People usually don't like patches that fail to
 compile :)
