As one of those pesky conservative users who reverted Ipe 7 back to Ipe 6
behaviour, I must say I can't really think of a situation where this
change would cause much trouble, while I do think it can be useful to be
able to change the primary selection. As an added benefit, it would also
make it easier to see whether you added the correct object to your
selection when selecting many things in a complex drawing (since bold red
is more visible than thin purple). So, I'm in favour.

Just my opinion...
