Re: File renaming

[<bordoley msu edu>]

see bug 83552 it even has a patch. click to rename generally just doesn´t 
work well and if i remember correctly conflicts pretty badly with single 
click mode. I talked with calum about this and he didnt seem to mind just 
getting rid of it especially with F2 to rename and having a context menu 
option.
