 This is true also for the standalone plugin (by the way, what is the
 difference between the two?).

 Console message is:

 {{{
 Warning: QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
 Warning: QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
 Segmentation fault
 }}}


 After adding the .prj file (for example with the "define current
 projection tool") it works fine.


 Tested under Ubuntu 10.04 and qgis trunk.
