Are you saying your complaint right now is that double-clicking on a folder icon on the desktop doesn't always do anything, or that you can't tell if it does anything? Or is your complaint that sometimes, maybe three out of 20 times, doubclicking on a mail message Subject field in Evolution doesn't show a completion list? (Evolution is part of GNOME as is nautilus, although I am not aware of any bugs in it relating to double-clicks). Or in Tomboy perhaps? etc etc etc. > 3.

Where is the bugzilla entry for it at bugzilla.gnome.org? Against exactly which components was it filed? did you include steps to reproduce it? Is it only nautilus folder icons? If so, I'd suggest opening a formal bug report so it doesn't get forgotten again, but against nautilus, and *only* talking about the exect problem, not making it sound as if every GNOME application is broken :) If no-one else complained in 5 years, it's not as serious as all that, although I agree with you it could be improved.
