UI Design - add resource window more gesture oriented

#4: still dreaming :) Multiselection could also be done with a two
fingers gesture: indicate start point with the press of the first
finger, stay there and move the second finger over the surface withouth
loosing contact to select all items laying in between. This would be a
nice feature if I want to select a big amount of data, lets say all my
last vacation pics...

Cool stuff, looks promising :)
