As discussed in the comments to bug #221749: 
it would make life much easier if it were possible to resize floating text
boxes (particularly legends and text view items) more easily. Specifically:
- when in layout mode and clicking on a text box or legend, allow it to be
resized with the mouse like other objects and then compute the font size
required to best fill the drawn box. This font size will then be indicated in
the object's dialog
- when changing the font size from a text object's dialog, resize the box to
accomodate for the requested font size.

In that way we can make it easy for people who want do do a quick layout
without exact requirements on the font size, while still allowing people who
want a precise font to define it easily.
