In Alexandria 0.6.3 (upgraded from 0.6.2), Ubuntu Gutsy.
Double clicking on a book (in list or in icon view) doesn't always open the properties dialog. Trying again (sometimes
more than once) makes the dialog appear. Alexandria's console output shows 4 button_press_event messages when double
clicking. Both when the dialog shows up and when it doesn't.

The attached debug2.log file shows the debug output when I open Alexandria, double click on a book, the dialog doesn't
open, then I close Alexandria.

The precise problem is more like, 
click on row, then double click -> get properties dialog.
double click on row, double click again -> get properties
dialog.

It's not registering the first double click as a double click,
but a selection.

I guess I was wrong when I said it also happens in icon view.
I tried to test it again (both in a fresh VM and with my
"real" library) and double clicking in icon view seems
to work alright.

The button_press_event code is actually generally dealing with
right-clicks. The GTK+ GUI automatically decides whether there
has been a double-click, and the iconview receives an item-activated
event (code is in iconview.rb).

There is also a "Dirty hack to avoid the beginning of a
drag within this handler" at that point in the code. I don't
know what this means, but it might be a source of the problem
you're seeing. I removed the code from the 'Gtk.timeout_add(100)'
block, and put it in the method directly... it seems to stop
the problem where occasionally the properties don't show up,
but this could be coincidence at the moment. I'll continue to
check this out.

In debug3.log I start Alexandria, double click on the same book.
No dialog, so I click again, the dialog shows, I click save and
close alexandria.
