Alan's workaround of using an editor should indeed work.  Version 0.94
also allows you to select which layersyou can connect to, but not which
ones you can select in.  It would be easy to add a "merge layers" function
to the layers dialog, I wouldn't mind seeing that.

Very much on topic, no worries.
