$ qgis --help
Quantum GIS - 1.3.0-Mimas 'Mimas' (exported)
Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a viewer for spatial data sets, including
raster and vector data.
Usage: /usr/bin/qgis.bin [options] [FILES]
  options:
        [--snapshot filename]   emit snapshot of loaded datasets to given file
        [--width width] width of snapshot to emit
        [--height height]       height of snapshot to emit
        [--lang language]       use language for interface text
        [--project projectfile] load the given QGIS project
        [--extent xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax]  set initial map extent
        [--nologo]      hide splash screen
        [--help]                this text

  FILES:
    Files specified on the command line can include rasters,
    vectors, and QGIS project files (.qgs):
     1. Rasters - Supported formats include GeoTiff, DEM
        and others supported by GDAL
     2. Vectors - Supported formats include ESRI Shapefiles
        and others supported by OGR and PostgreSQL layers using
        the PostGIS extension

$qgis MyPrj.qgs
This works.
$qgis --project MyPrj.qgs
This also works.

I find the above explanation a bit confusing. A QGIS project file can
appear as an argument to --project and can also appear in the list of
FILES. It would appear that the following is valid syntax:
$qgis --project MyFirstPrj.qgs MyRaster.tif MyVector.shp
MySecondPrj.qgs MyThirdPrj.qgs

I haven't tested this, but wonder if it would work and handle projects
with different projections? Well rasters in different projections are
definitely a problem.
