For "better list view interaction", improvements to GtkTreeView are
required. I made some proposals for improving rubber banding selection
in a gtk-devel-list email [2]. We also need single-click activation
inside GtkTreeView.

GnomeThumbnail should be moved out of libgnomeui, maybe into GTK+.

In general, we should try to patronize concrete subprojects (like SoC,
but architectural), because usually maintainers do not have time for
implementing everything they need themselves.

Examples would be the aforementioned GTK+ tree view improvements.
