Actually, this is only relevant for non-zbuffered drawing (wire in  
general). That prevents selected wireframes to become invisible.

I'll give it a check later on too. Probably I can make sure it only  
does it for potato mode.
Thanks!

(BTW; on the transparency topic; an old feature request was to include  
alpha in vertexpainting (and thus shaded mode) as well. This is quite  
tricky, because you can paint faces invisible that way, whilst they'll  
be still paintable, and not the ones behind. And of course alpha for  
Solid drawmode...?)
