If your design depends on your code being able to accurately figure out what
the user will do in the future, you may want to go back to the drawing board.

I don't think I've ever seen any recent application that does this (be-
cause all possible "solutions" are annoying), but I seem to recall that
the Explorer in some early version of Windows overloaded single and
double click actions by delaying the single click action (click and wait =
single click action, click and click = double click action).

To implement this in Tkinter, you can schedule an "after" task in the
Button-1 handler, and cancel it in the Double-Button-1 handler.  But
a redesign is probably a better idea...
