It's not usable. Newbies have enough trouble finding the RMB context menu; I
doubt they'll think of this.

I've always found that I had to set the delay long enough that it didn't
select files at random as I moved my mouse but then when I wanted to
selected files I found the delay very frustrating. As far as I'm concerned,
auto-select is useless in it's current incarnation and I don't see how it
could be improved.

If single-click is the default, we _have_ to come up with a solution for
selecting a single file that does not suck.

Ciao,
