Thank you for remembering my long-forgotten question!

Unhappily, I must report that your solution does *not* solve my 
complaint. Your solution changes the single- versus double-click 
behavior of icons on the *desktop,* and is much appreciated. Now, I can 
click on desktop icons in order to rearrange them on the desktop. :-)

However, what I really want to change is the click behavior in the 
Konqueror file and Web browser, for which I have found no preference. As 
a Web browser, single-clicking on an icon is expected to open the link, 
and I have no problem with that. However, I (and many others, I imagine) 
most often use Konqueror as a file browser. In this case, the behavior I 
expect (and miss) is that a single click will select the icon (say, 
before moving it to another directory), but that double-clicking is 
required to open the file or directory. I cannot convince Konqueror to 
see things my way.

I suppose that the ultimate answer is to download the source code for 
Konqueror, study the commented code, make the changes I seek, recompile, 
and release the new version to the open source community. I write that 
with all the irony and dejection I can muster in this e-mail message. ;-)

But, thanks for even remembering!!!!!!

Best wishes,
Clint
