But it worked in 0.95.3 and I am inclined to believe that author wanted
it that way rather than the doubleclick was implemented by mistake.
If it actually was a mistake it is still something users saw as a feature.

In the meantime some users (not me because I am not using wmdock to start
applications) became dependent on that feature and even chose to stick
with the 0.95.3 because of it.

I know how they feel since I used 0.80.2 for years because 0.9x version
changed a way things are done (these have been fixed in the meantime and
I am very grateful to the developers and maintainers for this).

Since I don't like to see losing perfectly valid features with new
versions of WindowMaker I have started this thread some time ago hoping
that this feature (even if it is not documented it is still feature) could
find its way back into windowmaker.
