Description Elez J. Shenhar 2008-04-08 12:59:53 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The icons on the system panel should always launch their respective applications using a single-click, even if the user asked for 'double-click to open files' on system-settings.
There is no reason to double-click system panel icons, because you never need to "select" them.

On Dolphin, for instance, a single-click (when in double-click mode) selects the icon and marks it, and you can now perform different actions on the selected icon.
On the other hand, you don't "select" icons, you have just ONE action you need to be doing with them - launch the application they're associated with.

p.s. This is also the case for the system-settings icons. I'm writing this here in case the solution is similar/identical.

I can confirm this too.

I agree with this wish!

With 4.1 just around the corner, it's time to close off 4.0 bugs. In the off chance that I'm wrong in believing this to be fixed in 4.1, please reopen. :)

I will actually confirm that as of 4.1 beta1, this is fixed.
