We've long ago passed the point for discussing whether or not this is a
good feature. Click to rename is an extremely common user behavior
enabled in all other major desktop operating systems, and our users are
frustrated when Ubuntu does not accommodate their learned behaviors.

I really like Cody's suggestion of requiring a click on the label to
enter rename mode. I just tried this is icon, list, and compact views
and it works beautifully, although I am not sure if users will expect or
discover this.

I am targeting this for six weeks into the hundredpapercuts project so
there will be time for the Design team to discuss and test this with
actual users.

** Changed in: hundredpapercuts
    Milestone: None => round-6
