Re: GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS and GDK_BUTTON_PRESS

[Micah Carrick <email micahcarrick com>]

In many situations, you wouldn't need to. For example, if the user 
double-clicks and icon on the desktop, the first clicks may trigger the 
GDK_BUTTON_PRESS events and thus the icon is selected, however, only the 
second click triggers GDK_2_BUTTON_PRESS which launches whatever 
application handle's that icon. So I wouldn't think you have to worry 
about the fact that both handlers are being run.

But if you want the code in the handler for GDK_BUTTON_PRESS to run ONLY 
if it's a single click, and to be ignored if it's a double-click, the 
only thing I can think of is to set a timeout in the GDK_BUTTON_PRESS 
event for some short period of time and then check a flag that is set by 
GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS to see if you want to abort the GDK_BUTTON_PRESS. 
Doesn't seem like the most elegant solution-- and I'm sure it's not. 
Just an idea.
