I'm not sure what I've done differently, but I managed tonight to get the projections to overlap.  The counties vector layer appears to have been reprojected to WGS84, and the display projection is NAD 83 (EPSG: 2992).  I tried to duplicate this in a second instantiation of QGIS, so far unsuccessfully.  I'm going to have to experiment more.

In the interim, When I try to clip the raster file in the successful superimposition to the extent of the counties layer using the raster clipper and get the error message: Computed -srcwin falls outside raster size of 28800x19200.  Any idea what that is about?

I tried to duplicate your steps. Seems to work fine (QGIS 1.8 on WinXP OSGeo4W installer)
I downloaded the counties shapefile and loaded it into QGIS. The CRS was listed as USER:100000 (probably since the Oregon LCC projection it's not in the proj4 database.) So I left the CRS as is, and set "On-the-Fly" reprojection. Next I got one tile from GMTED (30 arcsec) and it seems to overlay the counties correctly. (I'm judging from the coastline and Columbia river, since I don't know where the actual county boundaries are in the DEM...)

Next I ran the clipper tool from the Raster menu, and again it worked as expected. The clipped DEM remained in EPSG:4326, like the original GMTED. I can send the clipped raster if it will be any help. 

Since both layers you mentioned have full CRS metadata, I think if you don't mess with the CRS of the layers, just enable OTF, it will be fine.

Hi Terry,

You shouldn't be having such a difficult time getting them to align. I've
done similiar with SRTM/GDEM etc.

Have you projected the shapefile to wgs84 to review alignment?

Can you please put together a small subset clip of raster data for area &
the shapefile you are using. Drop me a the link from Dropbox or other
service & I will take a look over.

Cheers,

Richard
