... it should launch the [preferences] menu, like R click does....

initial patch

Initial patch, probably wrong. If you double click, then three instances of g-p-p appear, which is definatly wrong.

Comment 2 Christopher Aillon 2006-01-21 17:06:13 UTC 
Uh, the menu != gnome-power-prefs.  You know, the one with suspend, hibernate, etc. like what happens when you R click.
Comment 3 Christopher Aillon 2006-01-21 17:17:42 UTC 
But I also think that double click should no longer do anything.  The user will be able to access the prefs from the menu
Comment 4 Richard Hughes 2006-01-21 17:19:19 UTC 
Okay, gotcha. Jon, Jaap, this sound okay?
Comment 5 William Jon McCann 2006-01-21 18:03:27 UTC 
Sounds right to me.
Comment 6 Richard Hughes 2006-01-21 18:09:22 UTC 
Shouldn't the menu's be different, e.g. left button has Hibernate, Suspend, while right has Preference, Help, About?
Comment 7 Jaap A. Haitsma 2006-01-22 20:12:54 UTC 
I'm ok if we rip that double click behaviour opens power preferences, but it doesn't really hurt either to have it. It's something that users might discover by reading the help (when we put it in there).

Splitting up the menu over right and left click sounds wrong to me. How do I know which one I should use.

Furthermore I don't know of any applet that shows a menu on left click.

I'm don't think there are enough things in the menu to justify a different right and left click menu.  Ok to commit?
Comment 9 Richard Hughes 2006-01-24 17:42:50 UTC 
Okay, agreed. Go for it Jon, good to commit. Thanks.
