There is no kcontrol any more, I think it went with KDE3.  I have the
KDE4 "System Settings" application installed but it doesn't have any
mouse settings in it.

I have done most of the 'obvious' things!  :-)

As I said elsewhere I have also put the following into
~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals :-

    [KDE]
    SingleClick=true

but nothing seems to have any effect.
