Well nautilus still doesn't support multiple selection with the mouse in the 
list view. I talked to kris about this on IRC last nite and he said they 
will probably implement some sort of rubberbanding feature. 

Fixing the click and drag behavior would be nice. Talk to dave camp about 
it, the code i recall was very complex, campd might even have a patch for 
eggmultidnd.
