[Qgis-developer] Print composer in master

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Ramon,

The difference is:

"New from template" overrides everything (including your page settings) 
you had in your layout, and "Add items from template" leaves the page 
settings and already existing items in place and just adds additional 
items from a template.

I think that this distinction makes sense and is already clear enough 
for the average user. No need to change anything.

Andreas
