while you adress KDE here: That has a fairly complete single click mode,
which includes file open dialogs as well. So it may be interesting if
some of the individuals who have switched from gnome to kde did it
because of that very reason...

I have also configured my gnome to use single click for quite some time
now, due to a simple reason: I use a notebook with touchpad - and single
tapping is much more efficient there. With mouses I felt comfortable
with double clicking but now I feel very good with single click mode.

Inconsistencies like that of file open dialogues make me feel a little
awkward though - like typing on a keyboard with wrongly configured
layout. It works, but doesn't feel right.

just my personal view
