It's worth noting that GNOME already pays attention to RSI issues with 
the Typing Monitor (in the control center keyboard settings), and with 
trying to make every UI element accessible (so also usable with just a 
keyboard). Moving to single click would not be strange at all in this 
vision, providing that practical problems like nautilus list view 
and fileselector behaviour are solved first.
