This is a question regarding the general source structure of Thuban.
Currently a lot of methods are placed in the mainwindow.py - and 
all of this is quite unbalanced: E.g. on one hand the sequence to 
deepcopy a layer is placed in mainwindow. The functionality to join two
tables is implemented in a separate file (strange enough still under 
Thuban/UI). 

So, yes, I support to discuss a better separation. This could mean that
all layer related stuff goes into the legend - since this is the central
element for layer management. But I am still not decided if generating the main 
window's layer menu dynamically from all features a legend module provides 
goes too far or not.
