 1: I defined a Custom Coordinate Reference System (similar to Amersfoort /
 RD new) through the menu Settings | Custom CRS:

 +proj=sterea +lat_0=52.15616055555555 +lon_0=5.38763888888889 +k=0.999908
 +x_0=155000 +y_0=463000 +ellps=bessel +units=m
 +towgs84=565.2369,50.0087,465.658,-0.406857330322398,0.350732676542563,-1.8703473836068,4.0812
 +no_defs

 And named it "Rijksdriehoekstelsel in m";

 After hitting the "Save" button a text in the dialog says: "1 of 1".
 Closing Qgis and re-opening it preserves this custom definition. (
 Usability-note: the meaning of some of these icon-buttons is not obvious)

 2: Testing this CRS in the same dialog works fine (Usability-note: having
 to re-enter it in the field "parameters" before testing is not obvious)

 3: I have added two vector layers: one from a GPX file (CRS=WGS 84). One
 from a Shape-file (without .PRJ) from a Dutch government site. I need the
 custom CRS for this layer and as target for the OTF Projection.

 4. Entering the CRS tab in "Settings | Project properties" or right-
 clicking a layer (selecting Properties | General | Change CRS) produces a
 list of available CRS definitions. I cannot see or select my Custom CRS. I
 guess it should be listed under "User defined coordinate systems", but
 it's not (no expansion "+"-sign visible either). Searching the list yields
 nothing.

 Problem observed with:
 QGIS version 1.0.0 (openSuSE 10.3, using Qt 4.3.1)
 QGIS version 1.0.0 (openSuSE 11.1, using Qt 4.4.0)
 both versions obtained from
 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/

 QGIS version 1.0.0-preview 2 (Windows, running in wine under openSuSE
 11.1, obtained from your website)
