Thanks for this tip.  I was having trouble tracking down where the
GtkCList kept that information since there was no obvious API check a
row's state.

This is probably enough for my purposes.  It's not completely clean
because the entry widget will never agree with what you've selected,
but for the time being, I can live with that.

On the other hand, there appears to be some interest in tweaking
GtkFileSelection internally for other reasons, so I'll probably pursue
both hoping to get a well defined way for handling multiple file
selection in the next incarnation of GtkFileSelection....
