Thanks, it's good to know the the source is out there :)
Still, I'm just a simple application developer with not much free time
and with no experience in toolkit development, so it's not very likely
that I will implement it. Hopefully someone else will, if it is really
missing in hildon. I mean, could someone from the hildon team confirm
that selecting text is currently not possible if panning is enabled? I
still think that I'm just doing something wrong and that I just have to
set property xyz and it will work like a charm. At least I hope so :)

Cheers!
