Display layer functions (adding, deleting) are controlled by menu buttons in the layer manager. They are not on the GIS management and analysis menus.

Mea culpa! It’s an icon button; I don’t use those since I prefer either
the menus or keyboard shortcuts.
On what menu can that button be found?

I didn't notice these. Thanks for pointing this out. There are some other functions, like georeferencing that are in both places. Perhaps, to avoid confusion, perhaps either all layer actions should be available in both the pulldown menus and the layer manager or they should all be in just one place.

Martin,
Yes, but not all.
Why have pictures (icons) and words (menus)? Most applications allow us
users to select one or the other.

Michael,
FWIW, I prefer that all functions be available in both places, and we
should have the option of displaying one, the other, or both. I tend to
ignore icons since I have no problems reading and comprehending written
text. Give me the option and I remove icons and use keyboard short-cust or
text-based menus.

I think that icons should be a subset of the menu entries.
(so: all icon functionality should appear in the menus, too).
If icon functionality is there which is not yet in the menu, it should be
added (please say which).

Markus,
The one to add a shaded relief map and drape another raster map (e.g., the
elevation map) over it.
There may be others.
