Opening files with marble have been a really frustrating experience in many
cases. There are a few things that could be done to improve this situation:

I don't think disabling "otherplaces" display should be possible in the map
themes. In the resulting state, opening files with marble becomes a very
bad/frustrating experience, because there is no result, if the file only
contain placemarks/waypoints. In fact the state should not be possible at all!
Alternatively, the user should of course be warned when attempting to open a
file that contains placemarks.

If a file contains elements that can not be displayed for other reasons, warn
the user.

After opening a file, zoom the map view to the bouncing box of the files
visible content.
