Hi Jonathan,
SVG symbols are always just referenced.
It is generally good advice to use relative paths in the project
settings. This influences paths to spatial data files (e.g. shape files,
tiff files, spatialite), but also the SVG files. Relative means relative
to the .qgs project file.
I generally create a directory per GIS project and put the .qgis in the
root of this directory and svg Files in a subdirectory.
Alternatively, you can use the central storage of SVG files. This can
be anywhere in your file system and you can define it in the Global
Options --> Rendering --> SVG Paths
Hope this helps.

Hi Andreas,
I've used this to style up my data, and it was looking excellent
good.
However I then moved the SVG files that were being used as the SVG
Markers for the point fill (they were in a temporary directory on my
desktop). Unfortunately this seems to have resulted in all of the
point filled stylings now not working!
Is this desired behaviour?
I expected the SVG styling information to be stored in the QML file,
that way I could just share the QML files and they'd work. This way
it
basically renders QML files useless for sharing - everyone will want
to put the SVG files somewhere different because everyone has a
different directory structure.
If I look into the styling as loaded, the SVG maker is pointing at:
"C:/PROGRA~1/Quantum GIS Lisboa/apps/qgis/svg"
If I move the SVG files into there, they still aren't loaded if I
reload the style.
Any thoughts? Hows this supposed to work?

distance between symbols for instance).
The patterns, by definition, don't have spacing between the tiles,
because patterns should provide seamless tiling. However, you can
specify the tile size.
If you want spacing between symbols, you could use the point
pattern fill editor where you can also use SVG point markers and
provide spacing and displacement. This requires QGIS 1.8, I
believe.
