If by "other schemes" you mean "common schemes" and exclude the ones 
that I craft (that are otherwise perfectly valid) specifically to be 
illegible in dolphin :-). But... as I said, I can't think of any 
solution for which I can't concoct a corner case that won't break 
(except defining Selection::AlternateBackground to be used for this 
purpose, which I don't consider my first choice).

Unless someone has a better idea (i.e. a way to get a nice effect 
without a huge amount of effort, that won't break), I think you are 
right that we should try to make it work with common/likely cases.

Btw, what happens now when hovering already-selected items? Nothing?
