No, but IŽll make the same doubleclick/singleclick configuration for QListBox
and QListView as I did for QIconView and then it is possible. And FYI currently
single/doublecklick is broken in KFileDialog too (at least it never behaves
like I configure it :-)

I donŽt think so.

It has.

Yes. So if we want to make a KFileDialog derived from QFileDialog, tell me.
Then I will spend a day or two on QFileDialog to make the UI customizeable and
make a public API for multiple views (as these seems to be the main points
for people not liking QFileDIalog :-)
