Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the answer. I used only one layer with several rule based styles, 
sorry for the bad wording. I copied the styles on the GUI, and when I checked 
the xml file, most of the pasted entities had the same string in their key 
field, which is the id, I guess.

Concerning the bug tracker: thanks for the explanation, I will try the mantra 
thing.

Best regards,
Peter
