[Qgis-developer] Python support in project file

[Nathan Woodrow]

Giuseppe,

I really like where this is going.

Couple of things:
 - There seems to be a margin around the map canvas now. That wasn't
there before.
 - If there are no marcos in the project file I wouldn't show the warning bar.
 - Might be good to have a "more info" hyperlink so that people can
understand what it really means
 - Would be nice if we can to have a Enable Always button with a drop
down menu with "Always for all projects" and "Always for just this
project" (don't have it popup a dialog asking if they are sure just
save it they can always change it after)
 - Might need to make the icon have a transparent icon background :)

Other then that I really love it.  Having the message bar opens up a
lot of other possibilities for use to notify the users of things that
may or may not need attention. I'm thinking things like "BTW 3 plugins
didn't load right.  Do you want to know which ones?"

- Nathan
