I'm a bit confused by this. I know double-click was default behaviour for
win 95 but I thought that single-click was the norm even on windows if the
IE4+ web desktop was enabled?

Kde is also a web desktop and part of that criteria is that all things such
as clicks, underlining etc are the same as if you are in a browser.

Irrespective, on both systems you can have it either way with a simple click
in control centre amongst other selections.
