[Qgis-user] Updating composer label text

[James Stott]

I am writing a plugin that replaces the text of a composer label based
on its itemID. 

When I try to change the text of the label using:

item.setText("Hello World")

The label changes on the composer but the text in the Item Properties
panel for the label doesn't, it stays as what it was originally.

If I call item.displayText() before and after I change the label text
this returns the correct information.

How do I get the text to change in the Item Properties panel? Using qgis
1.8.
