Description Federico Mena Quintero 2004-11-22 19:02:49 UTC 
Right now, double-clicking on a GtkButton gives you two emissions of the
"clicked" signal.  This is especially bad for things like launcher buttons in
the Gnome panel, as people launch two instances of the same program without
intending it.

We need

  void gtk_button_set_ignore_double_click (GtkButton *button, gboolean ignore);
  gboolean gtk_button_get_ignore_double_click (GtkButton *button);

The default should probably be to actually ignore double clicks.

Actually, see the more general proposal here:

Retitling for clarity.
