Comment (by phroggie):

 For reference from [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645606.aspx
 msdn docs], the order of events we'd receive for a double click are:
 WM_LBUTTONDOWN, WM_LBUTTONUP, WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK, WM_LBUTTONUP.

 Replying to [comment:3 datallah]:
 > I'm inclined to make the single-click do what the double-click does now
 (if there are pending messages, display them, otherwise show/hide the
 Buddy List) and to make the double-click always show/hide the Buddy List.

 I agree with this, but can only think of two feasible ways to achieve
 this, given the order of events listed earlier, and limited time googling:

 Option 1) Have the single-click callback wait !GetDoubleClickTime()
 milliseconds before doing it's thing. In testing, even with an ultra quick
 double click speed on a fast machine, this seems really slow.

 Option 2) Immediately process the first WM_LBUTTONUP, then undo it's
 effects when we receive a WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK and ignore the next
 WM_LBUTTONUP. I see this as rather sub-optimal, and would absolutely
 despise the dancing windows.

 I strongly dislike both options, and think that the best way to use single
 clicks in the docklet is in the attached patch (single click and double
 click are treated the same).
