Why should setup be any different from other applications?

Can anyone quote any existing single-clickable UI components that 
de-duplicate double clicks?

The first ones that come to mind are pretty obvious:
Windows desktop icons (since they went to default "hover == select, single 
click==open) 
model. Hyperlinks in IE and firefox.

In any case. I didn't say that setup should behave that way or that I 
agreed
with the argument, I said it was a reasonable argument to have and someone 
should
consider working on a patch if they want it that way.
