--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
The reason why you would want to require two clicks to open a file or folder is
so you can select it first--because there are many things you can do with a
selected file or folder.
There are other things that cannot be selected, or that have no plausible
actions you could apply to them if they were selectable. An example is a
toolbar button. You don't want to have to double-click those, do you? Of course
not, because after the first click selects it, there's nothing you could do
with it, so that click is pointless.
So the principle is this: when something can be selected because there are
actions you can perform on it once it's selected, it should honor the
single/double click setting. If an item can only be executed or opened, it
should do that on a single click.
App launchers in your Panel or the Application Launcher menu are not
selectable, and even if they were, there's nothing you could do with a selected
icon. Therefore, it does not make sense for them to honor the single/double
click setting.
