change propdialogs object on single click?

Link to original bug (#520376)
Description
If a properties dialog is open, and a new object is selected in the canvas, changes to the open properties dialog should affect the newly-selected object, not the originally selected object. This would be more-consistent with commercial drawing packages, AND it would speed up editing properties. As I have become more proficient with using Dia, I find that having to right-click -> properties each time is a bit cumbersome.
It would be even better if the properties settings in the main tool bar could also be used to the same purpose. Why have two different means of accomplishing the same task? Select an object with the arrow tool, then the controls in the main tool bar to modify object properties.
