[Qgis-user] Marker for selected SVG symbols?

[Ron Bentley]

I select features on a point layer where the points are represented by 
SVG symbols, and I get no visual indication that the points are selected.

The "identify features" tool can indicate a symbol by dropping a square, 
red marker on top of it.  Is there any way to make the select tool do 
something similar?

The context for this is a Python plugin, so in the worst case I could 
have the plugin use QgsVertexMarker to flag the selected symbol(s) -- 
although I'm not entirely sure how to get rid of the marker after that.
