HildonPickerButton with multiple selection seems to be perfect for
my need, but unfortunately HildonPickerDialog doesn't allow closing
the dialog if no item is selected (why???).

I know it's controversial, but that was a design decision for Maemo 5.
The solution is to have an option labelled "None".

For an example, open the clock app, try adding a new alarm and see the
"Repeat" button (which allows multiple selection). The first option is
"Never"

I see. I could actually implement it in the same way as the clock app is doing.
BTW, I find the APIs for handling selections rather cumbersome, I have to write about 20 lines of code just to know the selection state of an item (if multiple selection is enabled).

If I write a patch that adds

gboolean hildon_touch_selector_is_selected(HildonTouchSelector *selector,
                                           gint column,
                                           gint index);
void hildon_touch_selector_set_selected(HildonTouchSelector *selector,
                                        gint column,
                                        gint index,
                                        gboolean selected);

would that have any chance of making its way in a future release?
