Bug Description

locked layers can be renamed without any warning but the new names do not get saved into the svg file...

how to reproduce: open inkscape, open layers view, create new layer, give it a name, lock layer (next to the eye icon), save, close inkscape, reopen the file, double-click layer name, change name, press enter or click outside, the layer has a new name, save file, reopen: the layer retained the old name; rename of a locked layer did not produce any errors or warnings.

imho, the name of a locked layer should be immutable, or, layers should be renamable irrespective of the lock setting, but then the change should be propagated into saved file...
