You essentially suggested what I have been meaning to suggest for a
long time, but never gotten around to write up.

One downside is that the necessary application changesprobably can't
be done automatically by changing GTK+. Just adding
gtk_main_quit_after_losing_selection() and have applications call that
instead of gtk_main_quit() might be enough, though.
