[ka-Map-users] Legend and keymap

[Marc Pfister]

It's good that the legend is working in the right order, but having the
off layers drop out of layer movement is really weird. ArcView doesn't
do that - and I don't know any other GIs programs that follow the same
thinking. Also, there's no visual cue that they don't work anymore. If
the up and down arrows greyed out then it would make more sense, but
still it's strange to me. 

Also, I don't think the base layer should be moveable. If you want a
moveable base layer, you should just put the base layers into a group
named "Base". This might require a check to see if there are no
ungrouped layers in the map to then suppress the generation of the
automatic "__base__" layer. Maybe the current code already does this,
but I can't remember exactly how it works without checking it.
