I am aware of problems with this, but I think it would be implementable (is that
a word?). The parent should not close after the doubleclick time had been
exeeded. One could also opt to reverse the functionality of single and double
clicks. The first click pops up the folder while another one closes it. But I
know there's usbalility issues still.

I've been thinking more about this. Maybe single click browser mode without
borders, where double click brings up a spatial window would be even better...
This doesn't close windows unexpectedly at least.

Point being: If we are to deviate from upstream, then we might as well be more
ingenious than the current solution.
