It's not necesary to click on the few pixels "between" two items - there's plenty of space on the right side of the file name. MS Explorer does this, Konqueror/Dolphin does this, and as you said, nautilus in it's other view does this as well.
And AFAIK this is a GTK+ problem, this "whitespace" is not implemented yet.
I would say, reimplement GNOME in Qt now that it's LGPL ;-)
