--- Comment #8 from Adolfo Jayme <[email protected]> ---
The GNOME HIG [1] says:

“… Double click should not be used, since it is undiscoverable, and translates
poorly to touch input.”

> Recent files area should mimick the file manager, […] not rediscover the 
> America.

No. We are not a file manager, and we shouldn’t pretend we are one.
Double-clicks were introduced in file managers because a single-click would
only highlight (select) an element, and taking that selecting-versus-executing
dichotomy to the Start Center only adds unnecessary usage complexity and slows
down the simple operation of opening something.

Also, double-click is an obsolete action pattern, which is also difficult to
reproduce for many people without fine motor skills.
