---------------------------------------------------------+------------------
 When removing layers from a large project (e.g. 700k project file) there
 are two problems:
 1) Removing a layer or group of layers can take some time but there is no
 visual indicator of activity (e.g. cursor change to hourglass) and
 behaviour seems undefined while the removal is in progress.
 2) Sometimes, even without any user activity after the Remove is started,
 QGIS crashes.
 Single layers seem to remove (relatively) safely - the problem seems much
 more likely to occur when deleting groups of layers, especially rasters.
