The pointer is added to an internal list of layers that are rendered in the Marble widget. When exposing this function via Python, the /Transfer/ SIP parameter annotation must be supplied. This notation indicates to SIP that control of the lifetime of the object passed via addLayer() is placed in the C++ library's hands. If you don't do this, then Python might decide to garbage-collect the layer object when it's no longer used on that side. That is obviously a bad thing if the layer is still being used by the widget.
Likewise, the /TransferBack/ annotation is used to return ownership of the object back to Python if the removeLayer() function is later called to remove the layer from the widget. At that time, the object can safely be garbage-collected since it is no longer used by the widget C++ library.</pre>

This is consistent with the layer having been destroyed before the C++ library could use it. After adding the annotations, I am able to add Python layer classes and have them render properly. The below test can be used; it dumps to stdout when any of the member functions are called, and draws some text at 40 deg N, 80 deg W that should be visible.
