Does HiG mention alternating-color rules? Could you or anybody else
point me to the section where it does? By alternating colors did you
mean that if i select a column the entire column gets hilighted with
different colors or shades?  
I've been thinking about RB in gtktrees with multiple columns, which
have non-obvious objects (in cases where it's not obvious what should
get selected as object, typical example - evolution, a user may want to
select objects in 'From', 'Subject' or 'Date' column).
