Currently, when an Impress window in slide sorter view is reactivated, the
display is redrawn to make the highlighted slide visible. This results in a
different display of the slides than how it was when the user switched away from
the window. It makes the slide sorter hard to use for example to rearrange
slides between different presentations.

To illustrate the issue

* Create a slide show with 20+ slides (blanks will do)
* Click the 20th slide
* Use the mouse on the scroll bars to bring the first row of slides into view.
* Switch away to any other application window
* Switch back to the impress window: the first row disappears from view, because
Impress rearranges the display to show the currently highlighted slide.

I consider this behaviour badly designed. The display should just remain the way
the user saw it before he switched away. The current behaviour is particularly
disturbing when rearranging slides between shows. One scrolls to a location
where slides from another show should be inserted, switches to the other window
to copy slides, switches back to see that a completely different area is shown
(it took me some while to realise that indeed Impress is trying to show the
highlighted slide, i.e. where the "cursor" is).

In summary, Impress should not change the display when the user switches to
another window and back. The view should be updated only when the user presses
an arrow key to move the cursor.
