Bug Description
With Inkscape version 0.46 on Windows build, if you open a read-only .SVG, it will display only a single layer (which appears to be a composite of all layers, like a flatten). This occurs quite often when using version control software that renders files as Read Only by default, such as Perforce.
Repro steps:
* Create an SVG with multiple layers
* Verify that layers can be toggled on and off
* Save the SVG, then mark it Read Only
* Open it again
* Note that all of the layers will be flattened
* Turn off the Read Only flag and re-open the file
* The layers will now be toggleable
Desired Behavior: Display layers in Read Only SVGs.
