For the technical functionality: +1 (works good and read the code)
But I'm not sure if the behaviour for this individual case (only one
item in selector box) is good.

If you use a file explorer on your OS you have to select a file first
and then you can delete it. There is not feature that removes a file
which isn't selected.

I imagine the situation while teaching a client how to use TYPO3:
"If there are more than one item in a group, you have to select it first
and then delete it. If there's only one, you can click right away on the
delete-button."
IMO the user will always select first and then remove, also if there's
just one item. Just my two cents on that... ;-)

But, as written above, technically your patch is good and works.

No, because it changes functionality and behaviour.

It's new feature, thus Trunk only.
