In KDE, I do not know about Gnome as I do not use it, you can set a mouse up
for single or double click.
With single click you save 50% of click motion over double click - most times.
Which is is a big deal for tired fingers.
Unfortunately, at work I use XP which is double click.
If you double click OpenOffice with a computer set up for single click and
your click rate is fast enough then instead of opening 2 OpenOffice windows
it has the tendency to open half way and freeze. Most Linux programs once
open will not recognize the double opening until after the first version is
opened. Try opening 2 Kmail windows. You can not. When OpenOffice freezes it
is always with the OpenOffice banner blocking the screen. The only means of
getting rid of the banner is log out and log back in or sometimes you can get
rid of it by opening OpenOffice again. On the latter score what generally
happens is that you open 5, 10,15 windows and it takes for ever to open
OpenOffice.
Small inconvenience nothing big. Definitely not a show stopper.
