I've never felt it to be confusing, perhaps because I'm rationalising in 
this way: a launcher on the desktop is like a file in a filemanager 
window, something that needs two clicks to be activated and is 
selectable with only one click; a launcher on the panel, OTOH, is like a 
shortcut for a menu item, and as such only needs one click to be 
activated, no double click because you're not going to rename, copy etc. 
it as if it was a file. Don't know if it makes sense to you ;)

I've tried single click navigation in both GNOME and KDE, but I keep 
single clicking to select files ...

Ciao
