OS/2 had a nice feature of double clicking with the RIGHT mouse button
to change the name. 

An other alternative is to use click-and-hold. Now in KDE, doing:

   DOWN   WAIT 1s   UP

The icon still opens. It should be either selected or go to
'rename'-state.  It is rather difficult now to 'abort' a click-open.
Pressing escape has no effect. Moving the pointer away from the object
moves it. To abort: Move the object away, THEN hit escape.

In either way this will be a 'must learn first' feature. 

I'm still btw a bit uncertain about the opening-on-first-click-feature.
