AFAIK dconf provides no option for the GTK file chooser, to
select single click by editing it with the gsettings command. If you
move the mouse above items, they don't get selected, one click is
required to select an item, so this likely conflicts with the single
click approach to open an item. The same issue seems to be true for Qt
related apps. I'm also annoyed by the enforced double-click behaviour,
but never spend time in enquires.
