Sounds like 1.8 and my reading the docs more carefully :) would solve
my problems.
Thanks for the info Even I really appreciate it!

In
http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_pg.html,
"""If the geometry_columns table exists (i.e.
PostGIS is enabled for the accessed database), then all tables and
named views listed in the geometry_columns
table will be treated as OGR layers."""
I read the first part but not the second and didn't know what it meant
to register my geometry until you mentioned it. I need to read the
postgis docs better too :<;

maybe a Note in the driver page for PostgreSQL?
Actually, the change to
just return an empty list has been introduced in GDAL 1.8.0
From the 1.8.0 NEWS :
"""
PostgreSQL driver:
[...]
* Don't require to have
found a layer in readonly mode to succeed in opening
the datasource.
"""
Perfect.
