Please note, that I didn't change anything. The problem is that
KIconView sends wrong signals. I asked Reggie and he said, he would
change it somewhen. So I'm waiting for this to happen. fileHighlight
means highlighting (single click in double click mode and ctrl-click
in single click mode), selecting means double click and single click
in it's modes :)
