 Replying to [comment:17 pcav]:
 > I miss the point here: we do have north arrows, and they can be synced
 to map content. I suggest closing this ticket.
 No. They can't be synced from map. (Tested r14195) Only rotated symbol is
 provided by "North arrow" plugin, map composer has NONE. Adjusting symbol
 rotation by hand doesn't count.

 pcav, if You have problem with understanding this issue, do following:
  * Open Your Countires or whole Europe vector map;
  * Set SRS to Projected -> Steregraphic -> Sea Ice Stereographic North;
  * Enable OTFR;
  * Open "Map composer" and add map view;
  * Place north arrow without manually adjusting it's rotation.
 or simply open example attached to this ticket.
