[ge-talk] Mouseclick options

I too am a fan of UniversalScroller not just for the double-click, but 
for the middle button making it act as if you were on top of a 
scrollbar.  If we could count on a middle button being there, I would 
even get rid of scrollbars (and scrollwheels!) in favour of this, 
although I'm sure not everyone would agree.  :P

I can't think of double-clicking anywhere besides Tracker; however, 
currently you have an option for 'double-click speed' if you run BeOS.  
Why would we separate the single-click option from the mouse 
preferences if that one is in there?

Also, I'm not a fan of the hovering in Windows, much preferring the 
middle button acting as a left-double-click.  But even better, I would 
think, would be left-click to launch, right-click to give a kind of 
glorified context menu that had both the stats you'd get on hover as 
well as clickable options like in a normal context menu.  It's a bit 
nonstandard, but wouldn't it work better in general?
