 Replying to [ticket:1092 williamskg6]:
 > In Windows QGIS 0.10.0, the Print Composer will not let the user add a
 new map.  Click on the button, nothing happens.  Attempt to click or drag
 a box in the composer area - nothing happens.

 > Add an image opens a dialog but doesn't add an image (no map to put it
 on).

 > Add a new scalebar does nothing when clicked on.

 After pressing the function button you must go to the map layout and just
 click.
 It works for every item mentioned above (map, image, label, legend and
 scalebar)

 The only things that we should probably add are:

 1. let user resize the objects using the mouse pointer (such as in AutoCAD
 layout composer)

 2. show an info label function on-mouse-over the objects, showing out
 their names (such as "Map1", and so on...); it would be very useful if you
 are creating a map layout with multiple map tiles

 IMHO
