You should watch for the "select_row" signal, each time that
occures you should check the selection. Iterate the selection
with the following code:

/* Iterate through all selected rows. */
int row;
GList *glist = clist->selection;

while(glist)
{
 row = (gint)glist->data;       /* Get selected row index. */

 /* Do something with the row here. */

 glist = glist->next;
}


/* Get just the last selected row. */
int row;
GList *glist = clist->selection_end;

row = (gint)glist->data;        /* Get last selected row index. */

/* Do something with the row here. */


Keep in mind that this works only for the GtkCList, if you
are using the GtkCTree casted to a GtkCList then things
work differently (let us know if you plan to use the GtkCTree).

Btw, there's a file manager with extended key handling for
the GtkCList.  See http://wolfpack.twu.net/Endeavour2
