The double-click patch affect the kdelibs defaults, and KPersonalizer
generates configuration files. The double-click patch you mentioned
changes the defaults in case there is zero configuration (and no
KPersonalizer).
On the opinion and troll side, I think that such patches that change
KDE3 default policies has no interest except confusing and annoying
former KDE3 users and don't belong anywhere else than in
distribution-specific patches.
