Yeah, sorry.  I should have said that straight click-to-rename was
intentionally removed from nautilus, since it is way too easy to
trigger unintentionally.

Maybe it would help if you could describe your use case in some more
detail, so that we can come up with reasonable constructive answers.

One thing to check out, eg, is the touchscreen-mode setting that GTK+
already has some support for. Maybe nautilus should react to that and
offer an alternative way to some functionality if it is turned on...
