[Chameleon] adding a layer to an empty application

[Paul Spencer]

Bart,

do you need full navigation of the selected layer or just an image?  If 
just an image, you could use the same trick I used in the WMSBrowser, 
which is to request the image directly from the wms server.  If you need 
more functionality, I would suggest building a small Chameleon app that 
does it, then building a widget to launch this app (as the WMSBrowser 
and SECTPopup widgets do).

I am not sure if I understand all your requirements on this, perhaps I 
am leading you down the wrong path.  We should chat about this at OSGIS, 
over a beer!

Cheers,

Paul
