Well, we'll never be able to satisfy everyone. There's always someone finding
something he doesn't like. Making konqi behave differently depending on the view
makes the whole programm inconsitent, which is a bad think IMO. These people
just complain, because they are used to having single click in netscape, and
double click in some filemanager they use. 

But we should reather have everything single click or everything double click
(and, yes, make it configurable), to keep konqueror (which is _one_ application)
consitent in itself.

Cheers,
Lars
