Really, double-click would IMHO be better. Not because of the amount of users used to it, but when double-clicking when single-clicking is default, it will open the same thing twice, this can be terrible on slow computers (which are more likely to use Xfce). However, when someone single-clicks when double-click is default, you will soon enough remember you have to double-click.

Just my two cents.

For sloppy users (which are the majority, I admit I am one - just
don't want to focus on the mouse as if I'm playing Quake when I'm on
my desktop :P), single click is ANNOYING.
You end up starting a lot of apps my misclicking. And on older
hardware misclicking on two files: a HTML one and a .DOC is tragedy,
as those are usually opened with Firefox and OO.org.

Mouse "power-users" :) can change the behaviour later if they wish.
Maybe it's just me, but I know that most users come from a Windows
background, and single click is annoying.
That's why most file managers use double click.

Oblio.
