If one wanted to use double clicks in X, then one could simply look at the
timestamp of the events.  By flushing the event buffer after the
timeout and then by searching the event list of keypress events, one could
determine if a double click has occurred and then do the appropriate thing.
It is not restricting double clicks, it just takes some work (and
time) to use it.
