Thank you for reactivation.

After thinking, I found a function we have to implement before adding "marking
multiple frames" function.

"Selected and marked frame rendering" Problem: When I select a frame, there is
no way to know the frame is marked or not; it is just highlighted as a selected
frame. So when I want to mark the packet which is selected now, I wonder which
I should do: do Ctrl-M once or do Ctrl-M twice. This unpredictability is
applicable to any "toggle" type marking operation(either single or multiple).

An example solution: Using dash line when a selected frame is already marked.

I'll attach a patch for the example solution.
I'd like to discuss this one first.
If you think I should open another bug entry for this problem, please tell me.
However, I think, without solving this problem, we cannot implement good 
"marking multiple frames" function.
