File open dialog double/single click issue

Hi all and thanks for the GNOME!

I have a short question:
In the file browsing dialogs, like file->open, the left
pane (folders
and favorites) responds to single click, but the right one,
where you
have files and folders - to doubleclick.
There are no visual clues that would hint for the single
click on left
pane, and i find myself forgetting which one was which time
after
time.

I was wondering if there is any background on this behavior
or just
happens to be so.

Didn't find any bug about this, so before filing one i
wanted to make
sure that i haven't missed something.

I would propose to either change mouse cursor, or change the
behavior
to doubleclick in both panes.
