Most ui frameworks sidestep this issue by sending click/double-click pairs, then
saying that interfaces should be designed so that any actions you perform should
work with that in mind. For example, in Windows a single-click selects an icon, and a
double-click opens the icon (ok, object). So the single-click is used as a sort
of precursor to the double-click. I think this is a pretty common system, because of
the issues you mention.
My advice is just to work within this model. There are very few cases where you can't
find some way to make a single-click meaningful without a double-click. Make
them work together.
