interesting. so reprojecting creates errors (tiny gaps, in fact). just
to document, the process was importing a shapefile into PostGIS, at the
same time reprojecting from 3003 to 3857

forget about this, polygons added after import

right; an easy alternative when working with QGIS Processing is to add a
snap param, which cures the small gaps.

All the best, and thanks again.
