Exactly what I want - This is only the second time I'm needing to use 
the composer, and the first time I only needed a dump print, so didn't 
bother to fiddle with the options.
This time, when I added the map to the composer and saw it was wonky, I 
deleted it and started looking for plugins before noticing the "Item 
Properties" tab.

Big thanks,
Zoltan
