Original summary: Improve Impress text selection and editing

While creating templates with Impress (template = pre-formated slides with 
title and text zone that have to be filled by another user), a lot of text 
zones are empty.

Actually, the user interface to enter and edit a text objet is not very user-
friendly. Ways I found:
- clic and drag a selection rectangle larger than text zone to select text 
object, than press F2
- clic just on the rectangle line of the text zone, then press F2.

When the text object contains text, it is also possible to clic on the text --> 
Impress automatically goes on text edition, and it's quite user-friendly!

My suggestions:
1. allow enter in text edition when user clics inside text object what ever the 
text object contains text or not. Cool for simple slides with no overlapping 
text objects.
2. Alternative to ensure better UI when a lot of overlapping object are in a 
slide could be: select object on clic inside object rectangle, front object 
first, second overlapping object on 2nd clic at the same point, and so on... to 
select in depth layers from one clic point (or zone if very little mouse move 
from one clic to 2nd or 3rd clic). Then, press F2 to edit text if text object.
