Could get a bit cluttered though... if it's proving to be a problem, it
might be easier just to make the default action when you click on an
item be "toggle selection state of this item and don't deselect anything
else".  (Windows already has a mode like this, I forget if gtk+ has or
not.)

Cheeri,
