 Throughout Vector (fTools) I cannot use layers that switched off in Layers
 list. This is quite inconvinient, as sometime the layers are big and I
 just don't want to waste time looking at them, just want to do
 geoprocessing or whatever.

 See for example: Distance matrix, Sum line length, Points in polygon,
 Nearest neighbour analysis, Mean coordinates, Line intersections

 I've a slight recollection that this bug/enhancement was posted already,
 may be for a specific tool. I apologize in advance if this is the case.
