Why is this so? Are double clicked items automatically selected 
in GTK widgets?

Quite important. When working with four layer layouts I often 
need to toggle visibility of layers while I keep working one
of the inner layers.

I'd prefer to have both: Mouse click action and keyboard accels.

[ctrl-num] to select 11 to 20, [shift-ctrl-num] to toggle visibility.
[alt-num] to select 21 to 30, [shift-ctrl-num] to toggle visibility.
[alt-ctrl-num] to select 31 to 40, [shift-alt-ctrl-num] for visibility ;-)
