I've had this problem (a single mouse click being considered as double
click) from quite a long time (almost two years) in two different
computers, and unfortunately I couldn't solve it yet.
Searching through Google and (of course) the Debian mailing lists, I found that:
(1) it seems to be a quite old bug, and
(2) there are several ways to "solve" it (mainly aiming some
modification of xorg.conf).
Unfortunately, as I said before, none of those solutions worked for
me, so I finally decided to reinstall Debian (using a weekly-build)
two months ago. But the problem persists (in both computers). I even
tried a live Knoppix to check out whether the problem was also present
there or not (it was; not surprising, considering that Knoppix is
based on Debian, of course).
So the question is: does anyone know whether there is a solution for this bug?
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions.
Cheers,
Miguel
pd By the way, I don't have xorg.conf anymore.

That's not a bug, that's a feature! It is Windows that has the bug with all
those double-clicks.

But if you wont change on 2x click you can do it somewhere in options.

And in KDE is configurable. Probably in other DEs, too.

OK, I see I haven't explained myself properly
I know the feature you talk about. But I'm talking about (random)
single clicks being considered by the system as (undesidered) double
clicks ("random" because it doesn't happen all the time). By the way,
I forgot to mention that it happens with both left and right buttons.

Sure! In GNOME (as in Windows) you can also configure that by going to
"Nautilus/Edit/Preferences/Behavior/[·] Double click to activate items".

Might it be the case that Xorg is detecting your mouse twice? Have a
look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log for lines containing "XINPUT:". You
should find at least one that states "Adding input device "Your Mouse"
(type: MOUSE)". If there are two (or more) that may be the cause of your
problem; Xorg sees two mice and sees them both clicking.
To fix that, you probably need to tell Xorg not to auto-add devices and
then you'll need to manually configure your device.

Thanks for the help.
Here's what I get from "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | egrep -i XINPUT":
Just one line for the mouse, so maybe that's not the problem.
