The problem is that the project tree view has already usability problems, and 
that even without blindly following global settings.

Following the kde-global single/double click behavior does only make sense 
when both behaviors lead to a good usability in the specific usecase.

Right now, single-click is more usable in that list, as you sometimes have to 
select something, and it is not nice if the list expands at the same time.

I think the ultimate solution is replacing the 'select' logic in that list 
with something else like checkboxes.
