A test WMS server is at: http://www.lucamorandini.it/geoserver/wms , while
the WFS one is at:http://www.lucamorandini.it/geoserver/wfs

As I see it. there are two issues when Quantum GIS and Geoserver interact:

1. QGIS does not retrieve all available styles when listing WMS layers
   to be added, only the first one ("burg", in this case) is shown; if that
   style is not applicable to the chosen WMS layer, the layer won't show.

2. QGIS does not prefix WFS requests with the proper namespace, for
   instance it asks for:
   GET
   /wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=region

while TYPENAME should be psc:region instead.

One problem with the WMS server is that it states the url for [[GetMap]] requests to be

http://localhost/... (see below)
where it should be http://www.lucamorandini.it/geoserver/wms

Luca has corrected the issue with host name and path returned from [[GetCapabilities]] (now the [[OnlineResource]] attribute points to: www.lucamorandini.it/geoserver), please check.

And issue 3) is that the WFS server does not provide information about the layer extent. So 69c5d8e (SVN r10698) contains a failback method to calculate the layer extent if wfs server does not provide one.
