Changes (by mayeulk):

  * platform_version:  win xp => win xp; kubuntu 9.10
  * platform:  Windows => All
  * priority:  minor: annoyance => major: does not work as expected

Comment:

 I can confirm that "sometimes" (hard to predict) changing the visibility
 of a layer makes it move up or down in the layer panel (qgis 1.4.0 on
 Kubuntu 9.10).
 I changed the priority from minor to major: the goal of the layer panel is
 to organize panels into groups to facilitate finding your layers; randomly
 "jumping" layers prevent the layer panel to reach that goal, especially
 when you have numerous layers in a project.
