It does appear from the documentation that you can't use get_selected
when the mode GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE is so I don't know whether it
should be a bug or not.

Another person suggested gtk_tree_selection_get_selected_rows. That
must be fairly recent. It's not in the gtk2 that comes with RHL 8.0,
but is in the one for RHL 9, but the pygtk bindings that come with RHL
9 don't include it. Looks like the gtk web documentation hasn't caught
up since it's not on there yet either.

For now, I found that gtk.TreeSelection.selected_foreach does work.

I'd still like to make it so that holding the control key is not
required for multiple selection. Does anyone know if that is possible
and if so, how to do it?

Thanks,
Dave
