I mentioned because the difference is that in the ProjectView we have some
actions that depend on the state of the selection while in Kopete's contact
list all the actions are inside the context menu or the single/double-click
for the default action.

In the ProjectView we have the default action (open file) on the double
click, the single click for selecting and the context menu for less
important stuff.
