Bug Description

#THIS IS A FEATURE REQUEST
#I was sent here from IRC channel, hope I haven't stepped in wrong place!

I kind of hate pressing "Previous" button twice to skip to previous song
But I imagine most of exaile users are used to it...
So a little option on default behavior of Previous button would make everyone happy.

I propose making a check-box (or drop-down list) setting in preferences.
with these options:
- Double-tap to go to previous song, Single-tap to go to start of song. (This is current behaviour and may remain default)
- Single-tap to go to previous song.

This should affect both the interface buttons, as well as physical media control buttons on keyboard.

in addition... consider making a separate page in preferences for various interface oriented settings (like on I propose)

Thank you!

This isn't done yet, is it?
Decided to do myself. Getting "Previous" button to always skip to previous song was rather trivial.
But I'm not going to do the settings/GUI part, since I'm no python dev.

No patch posted since it wasn't for the upstream version, and I currently have no access to the code anyway.
