This is probably a question for the QGis folks but I wanted to check here first 
where ther is likely a larger audience.
 
I create several spatial tables using PostGis and all are visible in QGis on 
their own.
 
When I create a view in PostGis that reaches into a variety of tables I see the 
name of the view in QGis but the type is "Waiting" and I get an error 
indicating that QGis can not load the data because it is "unable to determine 
srid and column shape in <view name>" then it shows an error <view name>(shape) 
sql is an invalid layer.
The SQL is used to create the view follows:
 
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW mission_data.S1_objects AS
    select M1.object_name, M2.center_lat, m2.center_lon, M2.scene_id, M2.OID, 
    ST_Transform(M2.shape,4326) as shape  from mission_data.mission_info M1
    join mission_data.objects M2 ON  M1.object_name = M2.object_name 
   where M1.mission_name = 'E3 Scenario 1' and M1.list_title = 'Object List';
 
and I alos tried a simpler query
 
CREATE VIEW mission_data.S1_test AS
    SELECT OID, ST_Transform(shape,4326) As shape, object_name
    FROM mission_data.objects;
 
but they both gave the same errors
 
I did search the QGis forum web site but did not find anything clues or 
reported issues
