Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

KDE Control Center - Peripherals - Mouse has the following option:
"Automatically select icons".

It works in Konqueror, but not on Desktop.

Scenario: With KDE's single-click-to-execute -behaviour, you would want to 
rename a file on the desktop.
1. Ok, select it, but how?
- Left click - no go.
- Right click - opens up a menu. (On which the hotkeys don't work when the menu 
is open. I'll file a separate bug on this one.)
- Drag a square over the file - works, but is clumsy.
- Search the mouse configuration in KDE - "There's got to be a better way in 
here ### somewhere!" - Find "Automatically select icons" and choose it. - Try 
if it works.

So, this doesn't work on the desktop. Works in Konqueror, as stated.

2. When you have the file selected, press F2 to rename - what could be
easier.

Kubuntu Breezy, KDE 3.4.3.

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
