Cool, though it looks like you replied to my email containing the older 
patch.  I would encourage you to consider applying the newer patch 
instead.  That may have been what you meant; it's hard to tell.

Also, I would suggest making the following changes to 
exo_icon_view_button_press_event () :

1. Get rid of the if statement on line 2079, making that whole block 
unconditional.
2. Insert this before line 2081, making the call to 
exo_icon_view_unselect_all_internal () conditional:
                  if (!(event->state & GDK_CONTROL_MASK))

I think this results in better behaviour.  You are certainly welcome to 
disagree, or to agree with one and not the other.
