[Qgis-developer] color widget not updated after changing item color by python

[Raymond Nijssen]

Thanks Nyall! I would have never come up with a workaround like this.

Should this be fixed? Or is this "by design"? :)

Btw, the QgsComposerMap does not like this workaround, BUT also does not 
need it because the color widgets seem to get updated anyway.
