#1267 closed defect (fixed)
MgLayerBase::SetLayerDefinition should not change layer name

Description
When working with a MgLayerBase object, by default the layer gets a name derived from the resource ID of the layer definition. This is good because a name other than "" is good and resource ID is as good as anything for a default. The app developer can then use SetName to change the name to something more to their liking. However, when MgLayerBase::SetLayerDefinition is called, the layer name will be reset to the resource ID of the layer definition. We need to remove this side effect for the cases when the developer has actually set the Name to something other than the default.
Will need to check all code where SetLayerDefinition is used to make sure that this functionality is not relied upon.
If this is fixed it will cause a change in behavior to the API so a note must be added to the release notes.

Patch attached.
No other code uses this method. This patch is good to apply after 2.6
