I wanted to copy the GIMP: show icons for visibility/locking as part of
the list item, that can be toggled independently of visibility. Right-
clicking should pop up a full context menu for creating/editing/deleting
layers, geometric transforms, duplicating, etc.

As for buried vias, I don't think they should be related to the layer
selector at all.
