The list_select event seems to be triggered as soon as the user clicks on a 
list and has selected a row, however the row he clicked on is not necessarily 
matched by the internal pointer to the lists data.

If you set the item to selected it just means the the current item is the one 
in the list you have selected, and in this event I've just moved the current 
internal pointer of the list to match what the user has selected on the 
screen. (.movecurrent).

If there was no code attatched to the list_click event, nothing would happen.  
What you do with the click event is up to you.

At least that's my experience, but others may correct me.
