[Mono-winforms-list] NullReferenceException on SelectedValueChanged

[Jonathan Pobst]

ListControl.SelectedValueChanged is sent when the value in a listbox 
changes, which may include the value being changed to nothing selected. 
  The usual way to ensure something is actually selected is to check the 
SelectedIndex, as shown in the MSDN documentation example: 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listcontrol.selectedvaluechanged(VS.71).aspx.

If you have a test case that fails on Mono but works on MS.Net, please 
file a bug at http://bugzilla.ximian.com/ and we'll be happy to look 
into it.

Thanks!
Jonathan
