That makes sense, especially since the mouse does not go to the hand shape 
when the user moves his mouse over a toolbar icon. 

You do raise a good point, though, Leo. The way we have it now, the 
double-click deletion (dcd) is in the opposite of what KDE should be doing. I 
can see enabling dcd across the board or everywhere except toolbars as being 
tenable policies. The current one cannot stand, though, as it is confusing 
and inefficient.
