If you go into System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse there
are settings to choose between one-click or two-click mode, and the
behavior of hover-selection etc when in one-click mode.

Obviously any individual programs may behave however they like but I
hope at least KDE4 programs will be consistent.
