Uhm, I don't see a problem with that, because all we do is handle folders
(or expandable items) in the doubleClick slot. The activate slot will still
contain the code to open files, hence KDE's single-click behaviour is only
worked around for folders/expandable items.

This needs a _lot_ more code to be implemented properly than we should
spend on this. Apart from that in a treeview (small icons, little space)
this thing eats up too much of the treeview space, especially when the tree
gets deeper.
