Re: Selection patches

[Nicola Pero]

Hi Serg,

just to let you know that your patch has not been forgotten ... we are
currently approaching gnustep-gui 0.8.0 freeze, so we're now trying to
apply only small and safe patches to try not break the gui just before the
release ... I'll look at your patch (which changes drawing the selection,
which is quite delicate) after the 0.8.0 release.

Thanks for contributing! - sorry for keeping your patch on hold.
