Pseudocode and Pseudoxml 

<vbox spacing="6">

    <vbox spacing="0">
    <entry>( ) Double click to activate items</entry>
    <entry>( ) Single click to activate items</entry>

<entry> 
[ ] Open activated item in a new window 
</entry> 
</vbox> 

------------------------------------------------------------ 

Visually: 

( ) Double click to activate items 
(*) Single click to activate items 

[v] Open activated item in a new window 

------------------------------------------------------------ 

Take a look to glade file attached in previous message, it's usable in
current nautilus_head.

Alternate: place a "   " label... no! screen reader trouble... BTW did
anybody solve it?

Boh!? It come from UI review report on desktop-devel :-) 

But it's not so bad, 'cause user reading from left to right can see
"Single/Double click" before and can understand/find option quickly.

Oh yeah, you know you are right. 

Obviously, stupid /me, I forgot "Nautilus Scripts", sorry.

Well, IMHO can be something like: 

<tab_head>Behavior</tab_head> 
<h>Items Activations</h>		<--(*)
<h>Executable Text Files</h> 
<h>Trash</h> 

(*) app_launch in Start_Here/Application or capplets aren't, in user
prospective, files or folders :-(
