Yes, I'd say it is-- IIRC there's a bug open somewhere in which we
broadly agreed that single-clicking was the way to go for all panel
objects.  The notification area stuff didn't get much scrutiny before
2.0 was published, unfortunately, so I guess this wasn't picked up...
I'd like to see it changed too.  

Could you file a bug so we don't forget?

Cheeri,
Calum.
