I noticed that the Contacts application permits multiple selection using the
technique described in the user guide (touch and drag).  My application
does not, even though I enabled gtk.SELECTION_MULTIPLE on the
TreeSelection.  I'm guessing that there is a bug in PyGTK (which is what I
am using) whereas Contacts uses GTK.  Has anyone gotten multiple selection
to work using PyGTK?
