[KPhotoAlbum] Highlighting in the thumbnail view

[Johannes Zarl]

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for the info - I missed this when testing a patch for another problem. 
It's a regression introduced by me yesterday. The blue mask is not the 
selection, but just the "cursor". The actually selected images do have an 
additional blue frame.

The reason for the change was a more keyboard-friendly view. When selecting 
Images using Ctrl-Space and the cursor keys you were previously Navigating "in 
the dark". The change fixed that and introduced the permanent Cursor 
indication.

I'll see if I can fix both use-cases...

  Johannes
