The long wait is over. A workable Layers dialog was committed last night by Jon Cruz.
Hurray!
Just press Ctrl+Shift+L and enjoy.
Jon, so far I found two bugs:
- if the actual order of layers (from bottom) is 1, 2, 3, 4 then in the dialog they go like this: 3, 2, 1, 4.
- when you toggle visibility/lock in the dialog, the drop-down selector in the statusbar is updated, but the toggle buttons next to it are not.

That's the known order problem.
I chased things down a little more, and I think it comes from my fix for an infinite loop stopping the loop, but not finishing up items correctly. Should be simple.

That's actually a bug in the layer-selector. It doesn't notice changes for those, but since there was no UI way to change them without having to select their parent by selecting them in the XML editor, so it wasn't seen before this.
Switching the layer selector to use the Layer Manager should take care of all that
Jon,
I have noticed few issues with a new dialog then working with sublayers. Those are probably known, but I will write them just in case: - Only the top level layers can be expanded, so if I have 4 or more levels of sublayers, no way to see those in new dialog - If having many layers and sublayers, expanding some layers expands dialog, but collapsing does not shrink it. If layer window size goes well beyond the screen size I cannot resize the window any more (using win2003) - if expanding several layers, selecting some layer collapses everything that is expanded.
Hope this will be useful Andrius

There's a TODO where I hardcoded things to only do two levels of sublayers. Now that things have become stable as far as order goes, I'll be upping that.
- If having many layers and sublayers, expanding some layers
expands dialog, but collapsing does not shrink it. If layer window size goes well beyond the screen size I cannot resize the window any more (using win2003)
Probably can be fixed by using a scroll panel that shows up as needed.
- if expanding several layers, selecting some layer collapses
everything that is expanded.
That's a side-effect of the DocumentSubset rebuilding its contents completely whenever a new layer is selected. We're getting rid of that behavior, so the dialog should then keep expansion until you actually change things by adding/deleting layers or reordering them.
