It's already possible to configure Nautilus to activate desktop icons
on a single click.  I much prefer this because of its simplicity and
because of its consistancy with panel icons, menu items, hyperlinks,
and most everything else.

Requiring a double click might be reasonable if there were some common
action bound to a single click.  Lacking that, however, this default
seems poorly choosen.
