A systray balloon could unobtrusively pop up and say "There's no need to 
double-click icons or buttons.  Your desktop is set to accept single 
clicks".  Also, double-click should be detected and ignored.  In 
practice (I seen it all the time), people keep double-clicking and 
closing the second window that pops up, and get frustrated because they 
do NOT understand they are causing it.  I have had to tell them "please 
don't double click, because that opens the file twice" and stuff.
