Great idea. I also want long clicks - doesn't Mac OS X have them already?  
KDE could combine both methods to become even more powerful. Combine this  
with the three mouse buttons we have and the possibilities will be  
unlimited. Long--left-short-right-short-right. KDE, the rhythmic desktop - 
musicians will love it. I think it should be implemented in KDE before 
Apple thinks of it.     
     
Honestly, triple clicks might make sense where the meaning of a triple  
click is a logical extension of a double click. Think of texts: double 
click selects a word, triple clicks selects a line. That's more or less 
intuitive. But what you suggest is far from obvious in my eyes.   
Maybe you want your video player to remember and restore its last position 
instead? Try "Advanced" -> "Special window settings" in the window menu 
of your player.
