This feature should only take effect if an object is not clicked on directly.
Specifically:
The grab sensitivity takes effect IFF there are no clickable objects under the cursor.
This can happen if:
1. All objects under the cursor are locked or hidden
2. All objects under the cursor are in a layer or group which is locked or hidden
3. There are in-fact no objects at all under the cursor. :)
In all other cases, Inkscape should select what was actually clicked on.
So what about text? I rather think Inkscape should treat the space in between characters in a text box as clickable area for selecting the text box. There are facilities in Inkscape for selecting an object behind another object, and selecting an object behind a text area by clicking within the text area bounding box is most often a mistake - It makes selecting and moving text around a pain in the ass. :) I'll put that in another bug though. ;)
