Hi Aaron.

I tend to agree with your analysis. The biggest problem is that the "double 
click == close" behavior is traditional and ubiquous. E.g., CDE exhibits it 
too, IIRC. I wonder how many bug reports we would get if the double click 
behavior is deactivated.

On another hand, I am strongly opposed to differentiating kwin styles with 
importantly different behaviors. I.e., either drop double click everywhere, 
or nowhere. But I might behave in dynosaurus here...

Anyways, I'd rather have a bit more discussion before commiting the patch.

Thanks
