On the Mac, I find the latter is more usually the case-- I've learned  
to be very cautious about opening the icon by mistake, and as a  
result, my actions are often too cautious to trigger the rename  
function first time as well.

It really does seem to be a hard thing to do just right.  I'm sure  
there would be very few objections to an implementation that managed  
to pull it off, though :)

Cheeri,
