The more I think about it, I think it should indeep allow equality.

Two more thoughts:
	As my test layer was your test.jpg called test,
	I think that added double quotation marks in the string 
	could be a tiny improvements. I did read 
		Select Layer test and ...
	And I thought, uh that is a nice menu function. ;)

	Do we actually want to allow working on unprojected layers?
	It might be that it breaks other assumtions within Thuban 
	for the lat-long boundaries.
	If we have a clear no here, then we could throw an exception
	when setting the layer and have other code handle giving out
	a message.

Anyway:
Russel feel free to commit.
Let me know if you want me do it, if you don't have time.
