That is strange:

-------------------
[File Loader]
Files=../../src/callbacks.h#12

[Document Manager]
bookmarks=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n<bookmarks/>\n

[Execution]
Run in terminal=2
Working directories=../../../pic_ide-0.7
-------------------

For example Files=../../
This is not relative to the
project directory. src/callbacks.h is _in_ the project directory, so the
path should either be:

src/callbacks.h#12
(or
./src/callbacks.h#12)

Maybe they are relative to the .anjuta/session path? That is somewhat 
strange and complicated though. Isn't .anjuta/session always 
supposed to be at the project root?

Also, why ../../../pic_ide-0.7? Why not simply ../.. ? That way the 
project name can change without problems.
