Can you give an example of how you could get this old bahavior (real life example in the installer if possible)? I still cannot place it.

I think i was wrong on one point: even if the old code allowed the user to unselect all rows togheter, and a default value for a given SELECT question was missing, the first option in the list was anyway set in the db as answer when the user pressed <Go>.

Now, with the new code, if a default value for a given SELECT question is mising, the first option is still automatically selected at display time, as before.
But now the

gtk_tree_selection_set_mode (gtk_tree_view_get_selection (GTK_TREE_VIEW (view)), GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE);

command prevents the user from deselecting the selected row without selecting another instead.

So, there will always be a selected row for SELECT question.
This has indeed no impact on the underlying db but makes clear to the user that an option has to be choosed anyway (if he/she ever thought that unselecting all rows and pressing <Go> was equivalent to pressing <Back> with one row active, now it should be clear it is not like that)
