(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #1)
Users who configured their system to start the program by double-click will
not agree with you. The best solution would be to bind it to the system
setting.

A user's system setting on the mouse click behavour of launching of an
application has nothing to do with the selection of an entry to be opened in
the start center.

But I guess that's not so easy in respect to the various systems. In this
case I vote for WONTFIX, or rather to have double click activation for both
templates (no change needed) and recent files (change this). 

With the application pane and recent files being single-click execution,
changing templates to this behaviour is the better choice.

Reason is that lists typically provide selection with single-click
interaction and execution per double-click. The selection gives us also the
opportunity to show information, for instance, or to provide further
interactions (consider also single left vs. right click, which isn't
available for recent files).

If it were possible to multiselect entries, single-click selection might be
useful, but doubt multiselect would be useful for templates. With single-click
activation, it is still possible to have right-click interactions if required.
