It should be that simple, but I have to agree with Peter.  I've used single-
click for years, but often wondered why in konqueror or dolphin I have to 
double-click to open directories.  It's even more confusing now, because 
sometimes they open with single-click, and so far I haven't spotted the 
pattern.  I'll try to watch out over the next day or two and work out what's 
happening.

In passing - since KDE 4.3 the behaviour of folderviews has changed.  
Previously, clicking on a directory opened konqueror.  Now I can hover over a 
directory and it shows me the files inside.  I can open that file for editing 
without having the intermediate step of opening a file browser.  Brilliant!
