I have gpx file (track) in WGS84 (EPSG: 4326) coordinate system from Garmin GPSMAP 62 which is right projected in BaseCamp and MapSource. When I save track as *.GPX and import it to QGIS and use Settings/Project properties/Coordinate Reference System/ and set as EPSG:3787 I get a wrong projected track (cca 300 m western of right position).
Thanks!

First, have you checked that the GPX layer has CRS EPSG:4326?
To see if your track is correct you can install openlayers plugin, and show your track on top of Google satellite or OpenStreetMap.
EPSG:3787 is ment for Slovenia, deprecated by EPSG since 2009 (look for change request EPSG::2009.015), and should be replaced by EPSG:3911 and 3912. These are incorporated in latest GDAL 1.9.2 coming with Qgis Master.
Check if your proj string is:
