That really hasn't been the "Windows Way" since they came out with Active
Desktop 10+ years ago. If you want that behavior on Windows, you can turn it
on too. (I thought it had been the default at least since 2000 or XP.)
On the other hand, it bugs me when I have that on in Linux desktops and
double-clicks bring up the application twice. Duh.

I wish Vista consistently worked that way. :-) I find the Windows mouse
scroll usually useless in Vista, altho I don't remember being annoyed by it
in XP. Maybe they changed something subtle.

Don't fonts always come from the local machine? Or did they fix this in X by
now?

any explorer window: Tools->Folder Options->General... in Windows.
And yes, it's much more handy, especially if there's easily found areas of
the screen where clicking does *not* select anything.
