When I change kcontrol -> Peripherals/Mouse -> "double-click to open I think of konqueror . It never came to my mind that this could be used somewhere else.

IMHO there remains a usability issue:
- from the GUI it is not obvious that the thumbnail is treated as a file. 
- the border around thumb and name suggests that they form a unit.
- expected behaviour: no matter where I click within a unit, I trigger the same event.

I see two possible solutions:
- find a way to make clear that the thumb is a file and not part of the name, e.g move name closer to thumb and don't draw the border; use konqueror look-and-feel
- treat thumb and name as a unit: click=select; double-click=edit; mouse-over=properties


I like the current look-(not so much the feel) and I think the second suggestion is easier to understand -> I prefer click=select; double-click=edit; mouse-over=properties
