Hi,

First thing I noticed, is that I never used the [ABC] labeling toolbar
icon.... I always do labeling via the Properties of a Layer (choosing
properties in the Layers/Legend).
That one is working...

The other one (I think) is a newer more advanced labeling engine,
apparently not yet working (I noticed it was not working together with
the labeling I had with one other layer...) I will ask questions about
this on the dev list.

For you, for now:
- please forget the [ABC]-button and label via the properties/label tab
(that one is working)
- be aware that you have to have both your qgis-project AND the initial
data projections set correctly
- If that is still not working, can you sent me some small test data set
offlist?

- srs = spatial reference system = projection/datum
