Gracias otra vez Gerardo and thanks to everyone for helping out with this. In fact, having the problem shown in
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3180464/ScreenShot004.jpg is my major concern. I'll be away from that machine until Friday afternoon so cannot test if this problem is caused by having the google layer in the background and not having the plugin installed, but it looks like this is the most reasonable explanation at the moment. I actually remember that I tried to install the Open Layers plugin and could not find it. Perhaps because this plugin is in one of the repos (Sourcepole) that cannot be automatically displayed any more because the "Add 3rd party repositories" button is gone. I (wrongly) assumed that the plugin had been moved to core. In case the lack of the plugin is the reason, we have here the first negative impact of eliminating the "Add..." button. I think that this type of designing decisions should be consulted in the users lists to listen to the opinion of a wider community. Also, and in case I can confirm that the problem is caused by not having the plugin installed, a more graceful error handling would be appreciated (i.e. a message stating "QGIS cannot handle one layer because the appropriate plugin is not installed"). But I understand this could not be as easy as it seems.
