 I've experienced strange behavior of latest QGIS 0.10.0 under Mac OS X
 10.5. I have a .qgs project (old_postgis_project.qgs) composed with a few
 PostGIS layers. I created it using 0.9 version. I copied this project file
 to another computer without database used in the project definition and
 tried to open it with QGIS. Here are steps I took, with references to
 screenshots illustrating every stage.

  1. Launched QGIS (1.png).

  2. File -> Open Project -> old_postgis_project.qgs loaded. The screen
 2.png shows error message I got after clicked Open button in file
 selection dialog.

  3. I clicked OK on the message box and GUI got completely messed (3.png)

  4. I resized the messed main Window to present the destruction better
