[Kst] Comments on the new plot dialog

[Barth Netterfield]

I think I agree (at least enought to try it).

So: 
Double click in zoom mode:
	if a curve is close enough, open its dialog
	else open the highest view object (which will likely be the plot).

Double click in Layout mode:
	open the highest view object.
