GNOME launchers execute twice on double-click from Nautilus?

[jholloway7 at gmail.com]

Hi Darryl,

Good thought, but I verified that "Double click to activate items" is
indeed selected.  I set it to "Single click..." and didn't notice any
strange behavior with that option selected.   When I set it back to
"Double click..." I was able to reproduce the strange behavior again.

Thanks,
Joe
