Summary:                    REQ: Automatically detect double-click on panel to avoid running apps twice.
Description: 
Just as the Summary says, I think this would be a great and useful addition
to the panel - at the moment we have Thunderbird on the panel, but it takes
3 or 4 seconds to start, and our users get impatient and launch the app
twice...

This leads to Thunderbird's "Create a new profile" dialog appearing and
generally messes things up :)

If we could have a definable "only permit one app launch every N seconds"
that would be fantastic! :)

I'd like this to work right without additional options. If anyone has ideas
on how to implement this, I'd be interested to hear them.

Perhaps a better feedback when clicking the item will be enough (disable
button for one second while greying out the icon, or something).
