I patched GtkCList in python-0.6 CVS HEAD to provide a
set_focus_row() call that changed the currently focused row (don't
confuse with selection). This allows you to work around a bug with
SELECTION_BROWSE and might be what you want.

Hmmm. You might change the selection style, but I'm not sure it would
allow you to see through it.

The CList is deprecated in PyGTK-2.x, so you might want to consider
using TreeView and co.

Take care,
