 If you try and access composer items that were created using the tools in
 the composer window, eg new label, scale etc QGIS crashes with a seg
 fault.

 '''To reproduce:'''

 Open composer and create label, select label, open python window and type:

 {{{
 comp = qgis.utils.iface.activeComposers()[0}.composition()
 label = comp.selectedComposerItems()[0]
 label.displayText() // or any other method
 }}}

 If the label is created using python then the above works as expected,
 otherwise QGIS gives a segfault.

 This happens if you try and access any type of composer item in python
 using the above method.
