On an average machine you'll have now at least 3 different file selection boxes: KDE, GNOME, Openoffice. If you like, you can add some more: gmplayer, gqview, etc. It's a good idea to make their default behaviour as consistent as possible. Doesn't matter which way, either make GNOME single click or KDE double click, but make it the same. - Mark
