Is it a single click or a double click?

   I'm getting ready to have to change a program such that
a single click on a widget (say, an Athena command button)
will be different than a double click on that same widget
(a single click will bring up a menu while a double click
will redo the last selection).
   I seem to remember that there is a "problem" under the
toolkit distinguishing between single and double clicks
(they both fire the corresponding handlers).
   Before I re-invent the binary wheel, can someone point
me to some existing example code (either with the X11R4
distribution or on the net) that distinguishes between
<click> and <click><click> ?
   If the answer doesn't appear on the mailing list, I'll
post a summary.

   Thanks!
