"Everything else" does not require a double-click to activate. In KDE it's an option, whose default seems to have changed from single-click to double-click to activate / open, which I don't personally care for. I set KDE to double-click activation.
Just a quick tip: after using single-click for 1/2 hour or so, you'll get used to it. You'll get so used to it, in fact, that double-clicking seems downright barbaric and wasteful. In Windows i also turn on the single-click option because it's just plain painful to have to double-click when a single click will do, and clicking is probably the most common activity in a GUI environment.
Agreed. In fact, I like the single-click implementation in KDE better that in Doze, but definitely single-click. And as long as we're on the subject, one other thing that I find EXTREMELY usefull that ~isn't~ implemented in Doze, and seems invaluable now that I'm used to it is the ALT-Click window functionality. When you hold the ALT key down, the application inside the windows won't get ANY of the mouse events, instead the window manager does (KDE). What the window manager does is if the left mouse button is pressed (while holding down the ALT key), is move the entire window, no matter where the mouse is positioned. No need to grab the title bar. The right button will resize the window. Where the curser is when you press the right button determines whether the window is sized horizontally or vertically or both. FYI B-)
