Re: patch for select in zvt

["Manuel Amador (Rudd-O) Gerente de desarrollo Alpha" <amadorm usm edu ec>]

just an idea:

what about autoselecting words when dragging right, but selecting characters 
when dragging left?  that way we can still make our selections right after 
we've selected the word?

that behaviour is in Internet Explorer.

for the record, I use only GNOME.
