PostGIS connection management is confusing

[vdeparday]

I have played around with the PostGIS connections and I have found it a bit confusing. I supposed it is due to the way it is meant to integrate with the QGIS DB Manager.

• I coundn't edit the PostGIS connection characteristics that I had just created except for the user and password (or no hint to do hint through another of the QGIS dialogs).
• I couldn't delete the connection
• I ended up editing it through the 'Add PostGIS Layers'
• But then the OpenGeo explored connection lists and the 'Add PostGIS Layers' connection lists went out of sync when I renamed one through the 'Add PostGIS layers' dialog.

After restarting QGIS, the two lists went back in sync.

A solution to that would be the following:

• add a new option to add a new connection from the explorer
• try to see if a signal is emmited when the list of db connections is modified, and update the explorer tree (this is done already when layers are updated)

Sounds good to you?
