I agree. I think having mixed geometries per layer can make things a hell of a lot harder and I would rather have a single geom type per layer. I used to use MapInfo and it can store different geom types in one layer, this makes it hard to style (more of a limitation of MapInfo I admit), hard to

Andre is right - qgis (like other gis systems too) cannot display points, lines and polygons in one layer. It has to be either points or lines or polygons. In a kml-file this is no problem. So if you try to load a kml-file with points, lines and polygons, qgis just loads the first object (and

Just convert your kml to shapefile, then you can easily open shapefile in QGIS. You can use OGR2OGR to convert kml to shapefile in FWTools http://fwtools.maptools.org/ ogr2ogr -f 'ESRI Shapefile' output.shp input.kml Details in this site:
