Fair enough. However there appears to be some misunderstanding in KDE about the
consistency. As Luis reported in 275413, "For usability and coherence with
symilar lists in other kde apps, the groups [...] should expand on single
click".

So I look around KDE apps and found out they are a bit inconsistent themselves
(note, that my setting is double click for folders/files).

Konqueror's bookmarks sidepanel - groups are expanded by double click, pages
opened by single click.

System settings tree view - like Konq, groups by double, pages opened by
single.

KDE's Help - groups expand with single click, pages are shown with single as
well.

Akregator - click on group crashes it

Kate's files sidebar - groups on double, files on single.

However I feel we can't really compare these because these are *sidebars* with
attached main view. Contact list is nothing like that, it's a standalone list
with actions on it's items (so no simple click->display). Let's look further
then:

System monitor - groups on double click, no action on single click on items

Well and that's all I really found in KDE that is not a sidebar-mainview thing.
Excluding the media players mentioned on top. So I don't really know. If we
want to be system consistent, we should change groups expanding to double click
then (or system settings, not sure if all those above are obeying that). But
then again, there's no similar app in KDE (except Kopete) like our contact list
(stand-alone listview), so perhaps we could make it our way.

Let's see what the usability team has to say about this.
