Forces double click only to open files and folders (514 bytes, patch)

Description Angel Abad 2010-06-09 12:11:10 UTC 
In Ubuntu Lucid Robert reported:

As per the summary, if an icon is clicked 3 times in quick succession, within the set 'double click' time, then the system takes it as if there were 2 'double clicks'. This can be very annoying especially when there is a fullscreen application or game launched because it can then cause lags due to 2 instances running.

To easily reproduce:

Copy a slow launching application launcher like firefox to the desktop.
Triple click the icon.
2 Firefox instances will start.

Thanks!

Confirmed. Launchers in the panel do not display this behaviour. This has consequences for both usability and a11y.

This patch makes only double click valid to open files, folders and applications.
