checkbox support for multi-column listboxes

[shy]

What I really wanted was using trees. But then I found out that the
checkbox-treecells only worked when the dont-build-content flag was not
set. So there was no point in using trees and its not cross-platform
compatible approach to displaying the checkbox's states through styles
since sorting by column doesn't wok with pre-built content.

So I jumped ship for multi-column lists.
Problem: I can't get the checkboxes to be "checkable." They display
fine. You can't interact with them.
I double-checked the documentation and tried applying editable="true"
attributes to the various related nodes. Nothing.

Can anybody here help me out?

Here's a test case:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>

<window id="test-window" title="Check List Test"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">

<listbox rows="4">
<listhead>
<listheader label="multi-column"/>
</listhead>
<listcols>
<listcol flex="1"/>
</listcols>
<listitem>
<listcell type="checkbox" value="1" label="vghkvghk"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell type="checkbox" value="2" label="vghjkvk" checked="true"/>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<listcell type="checkbox" value="3" label="hukfzgjcfj"
disabled="true"/>
</listitem>
</listbox>

<listbox rows="4">
<listhead>
<listheader label="single-column"/>
</listhead>
<listitem type="checkbox" value="1" label="vghkvghk"/>
<listitem type="checkbox" value="2" label="vghjkvk" checked="true"/>
<listitem type="checkbox" value="3" label="hukfzgjcfj"
disabled="true"/>
</listbox>

</window>

The listbox handlers only check listitems, not listcells. You would have
to implement your own custom event handling.
