For the love of all that is holy, DO NOT IMPLEMENT THIS!

This was a stupid idea in Windows and it'll be a stupid idea in Ubuntu. When I 
click a file, 99.999% of times it's because I want to select it. Not rename it.
And the moment the UI is just slightly unresponsive, or when I have selected 
the file and then realize I want to drag and drop it so I click it again, or a 
million other situations where I accidentally click the file twice, the rename 
idiocy is going to be activated instead.

I think renaming a file is to be regarded as more intrusive an action
than selecting it and it's good to have to right-click or press F2 to
show that renaming it is actually what you want to do.
