Comment:

 Sorry to have to reopen this ticket, but saving with relative paths seems
 not work any more, at least under Linux (testing under Ubuntu 9.04) with
 both qgis 1.3 from repos and 1.4 trunk compiled.

 Made simple tests with shapefiles and when the "save absolute paths" is
 not checked the resulting project file has the paths in the form

 ./path/to/shape.shp

 instead of

 path/to/shape.shp

 so when you try to open the project it misses to find the layers and ask
 you for the new layer location.
