Title: BRL-CAD Alternative GUI 8.1: Improve the Selection for Ray-Trace
Description: As result of previous BRL-CAD Alternative GUI tasks a reference version of an alternative BRL-CAD GUI was created and submitted to the rt^3 branch of the BRL-CAD subversion repository. This task is about improving QtGUI.

As a prerequisite for this task you should have fulfilled the following steps:
* Compile and install BRL-CAD
* Download the rt^3 source tree (see https://brlcad.org/wiki/SVN)
* Set up the build environment by using the top level CMakeLists.txt file
* Build the QtGUI target
* Run the QtGUI program and test it

To perform this task, improve the selection of objects for ray-trace:
* Highlighted objects should be selected
* The user should be able to highlight/select multiple objects
* Prevent renaming of an entry in the objects tree view

When you are done, please submit
* A patch file with your changes to the source code and
* A screen shot of the QtGUI program window
