Wait.  The double-click detection and discard should ONLY work in icons, 
not in buttons!  It's reasonable usage to rapidly click a button twice!  
But it makes no sense on icons.

Me too.

I digress in that people get really really frustrated when they open 
OpenOffice twice (slow!) in a row and don't understand what they're 
doing wrong.  But a balloon help in the systray telling the user to stop 
that would be a way to eliminate double-click detection.
