The behaviour for rubberband without modifiers, on other OSes and on applications within GNOME (GIMP, Inkscape, etc) is to begin a new selection. Breaking that convention would be a bad idea, I think. The HIG already has something on this: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/input.html#selection though perhaps it needs updating, as it doesn't specify what SHIFT + CTRL should do. ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?
