Double Click Behaviour in KDE
From http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/mouse/index.html
"KDE is designed to make use of either single-clicks or double-clicks, but the default is single-click mode. The reason for this is that double-clicks are hard to learn for new users and can cause RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). To accommodate users who are already used to double-clicking and who don't want to change, as well as to accommodate users who work on a daily basis with systems that require double-clicks, KDE will allow the user switch to double-click mode on a system-wide basis. Otherwise, a double-click is treated as one single-click."
If you like single click (I accidently click sometimes when trying to move stuff around and such) go into Control Center, click on Peripherals and then Select Mouse, under General there will be an option to "Double click to open files and folders (select icons on first click)" select that. Viola! :)
