That's not quite true, since I use double-click myself. Not because I don't know better (I've been running Linux for the past ten years), but because of the touchpad on my laptop. The "tap" is too sentitive, and often when I move my mouse it will click in whatever place my pointer is at. Setting to doubleclick solves that problem, since a random double-click happens once every two weeks or so. > it" or "it's what people are used to" is a stupid argument to do > anything.

Please, you might not share my view, but don't call my arguments stupid. If you ever visited a school board that migrated their entire setup to X-Terminals, you'll notice the deep panic the first couple weeks of the year, where everyone (students and teachers), click multiple times on the Star/OpenOffice icon, and the servers start swapping like crazy before going out of memory. Single/Double-click is an option that can be easily changed by the user, and once it's changed, urpmi, updates, even a full reinstall will not change that setting, unless you reformat the partitions. But in conclusion, what's really funny: people who complain about that option are the ones who *are* going to roll out their own CDs anyway ;-) Jean-Michel
