Almost without fail, when I first fire up someone's computer on
Knoppix, he will immediately browse to his My Documents folder and
double-click on one of his Word documents (and we all know what the
result of that action is under KDE in Knoppix...).
       

I don't know, actually, and now you've made me curious, what is the
result?
     

It works - twice.  :-)
   

I'd always just used fluxbox, but recently I installed KDE, and it's
true...if you're expecting something like windows, you double-click.
After about twice, I cought on, but was a bit confused...but as soon
as I realized that it was less work, I decided I liked it. :-) Why
click to select, then right-click to act, why not just right click?

I grew up on macs, and dislike having files open themselves when I just 
wanted to move them. The one click feature is a kde default, but it is 
readily changed.
