Using one key on the keyboard (shift?) + dragging the mouse seems like the most
intutive method to me.  How about a keystroke to turn on and off marking
sequential ranges of packets, such as the CTRL+SHIFT+M Chris brought up?  You
could turn on marking with that key sequence then every other packet you went
across with your cursor was marked until you hit CTRL+SHIFT+M again?

FYI, the range function when saving a trace is quite powerful.  You can do
range(s) and/or individual packets.  For example: "1-20,26,30-34,60-" to refer
to packets 1-20, 26, 30-34 and 60 to the end of the trace file.

Just some ideas... I haven't tried the patch yet.
