Comment (by lutra):

 a) yes, it works now, but still c) (by the way spatialite seems already
 fixed, not postgis)

 b) so, the bottom line is (please forgive me if I'm saying something
 stupid): if I have a polygon type shapefile I cannot merge non-adjacent
 features to obtain a multipolygon feature (just in qgis or is the general
 rule?), but if export that layer to postgis as multipolygon then I can
 merge non-adjacent features and export back to shapefile to obtain a
 multipolygon type one. Right?


 I guess that this can be closed then.
