The default mouse click behavior was changed to double-click a long time ago in this
patch:
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/patches/1284792137:5ec667408632981bb995a8af48…
Checking the affected 3.5.13 header file shows the change is good with no regressions.
I also have my own default global $PREFIX/share/config/kdeglobals file that has
SingleClick=false. The file does get installed and the setting is the same.
When I create a new profile through the KPersonalizer wizard the default becomes
single-click.
When I skip the KPersonalizer wizard then the default is double-click.
Therefore something in the KPersonalizer process is overriding the system defaults.
Would somebody please confirm this behavior?
Thanks.

I confirm that my
KPersonalizer-created profile has adopted
single-click as part of the TDE-labeled behaviour profile I chose. Since
KPersonalizer accurately indicates whether a profile is single-click or
double-click, I think this is fine.
Thanks.

Okay, I see the "problem." The "Description" does declare that
selecting TDE will default to single-click. However, that contradicts the patch I
referenced where the expected default is double-click.
I'm not arguing one way or another. :) I'm just testing and observed the
KPersonalizer defaults do not match the intent of the patch. I'll submit a bug report
and try to submit a patch to change the TDE default in KPersonalizer to double-click. (A
person wanting single click as the default would choose the Unix option.)
I see that TDE defaults to a "busy cursor" mouse pointer. There was another
patch submitted long ago that set the default notification mouse pointer to "No Busy
Cursor," but I can't find the patch. Regardless, when the desktop finally
appears, checking the Launch Feedback shows "No Busy Cursor." Therefore I think
that bug is only a typo in KPersonalizer.
KPersonalizer should be consistent with the referenced patches. That's all. :)

The double-click patch affect the kdelibs defaults, and
KPersonalizer
generates configuration files. The double-click patch you mentioned
changes the defaults in case there is zero configuration (and no
KPersonalizer).
On the opinion and troll side, I think that such patches that change
KDE3 default policies has no interest except confusing and annoying
former KDE3 users and don't belong anywhere else than in
distribution-specific patches.
