It activates on double-click. Single-clicking was up to now only discussed for file-related widgets. On a sidenote, I wrote an (unreviewed) patch against GtkFileChooser [1]. Making the list single-clickable would really be trivial code-wise.

So you're against an extra button?

Long story short, there is too much info there in a big > unfriendly list. Well, the problem is still that categorizing applets doesn't work. If you have any proposals on that, it would be great.
