Other idea, only for the map layer's creation: when a map layer is
created, Viking should inform the user that current view mode is
incorrect, and propose to solve this for the user.
This sort of action is current nowaday. For example, Eclipse propose
to the user to switch to the "Team Synchronisation view" when the user
requests an action that need this view.

Other idea: Viking should hide (inactive) the map layer that cannot be
rendered in the current view. By this way, the user can understand
that something is wrong. This is the main problem IMO: the user
currently has no mean to "naturaly" discover that its current
configuration is wrong.
