except for point 5) there is not yet a plan to add these features.
Clearly some are desireable and I hope you, or some other people, will
provide them. The sources of the new GUI are quite clean and clear
and it should not be too difficult to add these features. I'll be more
than happy to merge the diffs in the code base. Below I add
some hints on how to proceed:

Implement like "shift left button click" to add other items to selection.
To get items use same interface as in TGListView which has multi select:
virtual const TGLVEntry *GetNextSelected(void **current);
virtual Int_t NumItems() const { return fTotal; }
virtual Int_t NumSelected() const { return fSelected; }

See how TGCanvas is managing a horizontal scrollbar when contents is too
large to fit.

Could be changed for all text in widget via graphics context. Currently
no multi color text in same widget.
I am currently working on some small extensions to better facilitate
scripting via the interpreter.
