GNOME launchers execute twice on double-click from Nautilus?

[Joe Holloway]

Hi James,

Thanks for the response.  I've verified that I have "Double click to
activate items" selected.  In fact, when I switch over to "Single
click", it works as designed.  The behavior is only exhibited in
"Double click" mode approx 1/3 of the time.
