Speaking of which, I was wondering if, at the same time as defaulting to single-click,
we should also default to "auto select icon under mouse". This is what makes single-click
more useable for many, since the biggest problem with single-click and no auto-select
is how to select a single icon.

I believe activating auto-select would make the default single-click mode more useable,
(and btw this is also what Windows does when you choose single-click).
I'm not sure why we didn't do it at the time.
