 I can try my luck on qt-bugs@ with this. I'm just afraid I'll end up getting 
'sorry, brokeness^H^H^Hbackwards compatibility' :(.

 You left out a small part where I said : For this specific case of desktop 
icons, there IMHO should be no icon current/selected by default.

 If in the icon view there was no icon selected by default (and 
current==selected was ensured), this problem wouldn't exist. Also, that would 
avoid the subtle detail that the selected icon is sometimes really selected, 
sometimes only current.
