thanks a lot. There is no milestone, but since QGIS 2.0 is out, I would say
asap.

yes, I don't think we have a better solution for this right now - have we?

Thanks for that question, I am not an expert here, but I found:

Images with px dimensions are not resized when the user changes text size;
images with em dimensions are resized. So if an image's size should be
relative to the text size (a rare case), then use em. Otherwise px
dimensions is fine. 

So I would also ask, does EM make sense for us?

Otto
