Hi Cédric. Thanks for the research on this. If the problem cannot be
solved on the OpenLayers side I guess we could add a "deferAddLayers"
boolean option or something to the MapPanel. When this option is set
the MapPanel will make sure the layers added to the map in the
renderMap method after calling map.render(). Something like the
attached patch (be warned, untested patch).

Cheers,
