for OpenOffice.org to start up! Much more wasted time than having to click
again ...
OpenOffice.org what? I don't see your point here.

Of course, maybe if KDE's (or Mandrake's) theme selection tool actually
gave *really* good guesses for a user's preferences, it would be easier.

Every person I have introduced linux to uses double-click under KDE, and
that's quite a few people.
I wouldn't mind double-click, but

a.) the install should provide a choice (the KDE first time wizard does this, but Mandrake's tools I don't know, plus the KDE first time wizard wants to run *every time*. What's up with that?)

b.) fix the treeview the way I want it. Personally, I've wanted double click, not so much for the desktop, but in the file manager. It is so difficult to select files with single click.

But what's always stopped me from enabling double-click is that treeviews in KDE seems really slow, and the double click does not help. If people say this is the default behavior in Windows, tell me where, because I've never seen it. Why would you want to navigate a tree and have the resulting pane remain blank the whole time? Shouldn't the pane just change when the tree item is selected?
