Summary: Cannot fill an outline

Initial Comment:
Synfig SVN 1514.

Outline wraps around the region layer instead of be filled as stated in 
http://synfig.org/How_do_I#Fill_an_outline.3F

Steps to reproduce:

* Choose a BLine tool
* Make sure what Fill checkbox is not set on the Tool Options Panel
* Construct some Bline
* Right-click on the created outline layer on the Layers Panel and select "New 
Layer -> Geometry -> Region". Region Layer will be placed above the Outline 
Layer
* Click on the Outline Layer holding the Ctrl key to select it
* In Params Panel right-click Verticles parameter and select Link
* The outline layer will wrap around region layer _instead_of_ opposite (as 
stated in http://synfig.org/How_do_I#Fill_an_outline.3F)

NOTE: If you do the following after that:
 * press Ctrl+Z
 * Move region layer under the outline layer
 * Then place region layer over outline layer again
 * Select both layers and link verticles parameters
Everything will work as expected.

I just fixed the wiki page.

I've reordered the first 2 methods, since the method you used relies on
the user understanding how studio decides which layer to use when linking.

In your case, what was happening was that the only way studio could chose
was based on modification time.  Linking and undoing left the modification
times the same, and so there was nothing left to distinguish them.

The new #1 method in the 'how do i' page is better - export and connect,
rather than link.

Thanks for the bug report.
