Having a hint such as highlighting the row (the most common method) is  
very useful.  Showing the checkmark before it is actually selected  
makes it look like it was selected.  If the click doesn't register,  
you cannot tell until the mouse pointer is moved off the checkbox.   
When deselecting a row, the click action is not visible because the  
box shows as being checked due to the mouse pointer is over not, and  
not because it is still selected.  Again, the actual state of the row  
cannot be determined until the mouse pointer is moved off the checkbox.
