Here's a small snippet of code I used to do just that.  I also (and users
of my package) found double clicking difficult - especially across the
network, so I just made this a part of any listbox I created.  Now pressing
button 2 (the middle button on my mouse) is the same as a double click.


   /* Declare these variables - change names at will */
   XtTranslations _osUCtlLBTransTable;
   char           _osUCtlLBTranslations[] = "<Btn2Up>: ListElementSelect()"
                                            "          ListElementUnSelect()"
                                            "          ListElementSelect()"
                                            "          ListElementUnSelect()";

   /* Do this once somewhere during initialization */
   _osUCtlLBTransTable = XtParseTranslationTable(_osUCtlLBTranslations);

   /* Then after creating the list widget */
   XtOverrideTranslations(listwidget,_osUCtlLBTransTable);
