Yes. Most users do not use the CVS code but wait for their dist to put 
together packages.

I don't see why this is a bad option. The label of the checkbox might not be 
the greatest, but as far as options go I think it makes perfect sense. For 
most users the default is not to honor single click, which they will like. 
For more advanced users they will want all KDE applications to have the 
same behaviour. When switching from konqueror to kaddressbook they may not 
want to switch from single to double click. The option in no way can damage 
data, so I don't see how it could be bad.

At some point the user is going to have to turn on 'Click means edit', it is 
just a question of where and what the label of the checkbox says.
