--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Ah, I see what you mean now: when the desktop is in Desktop mode rather than
Folder View mode, any icons you add to the desktop behave more like launchers
on the panel (which always require a single click) rather than files, folders,
and launchers in Dolphin) which respect the click setting.

The reason for this is the same as what I explained before: in Desktop mode,
any app launchers that you add to the Desktop are just like launchers in your
Panel: they exist purely to be clicked on to launch the app, not so that they
can be manipulated in any way. Think about it: if these icons require a
double-click, what could you do with them after selecting them with only a
single click?

If you want double-clickable launchers on the desktop, the solution is to use
Folder View, as you've discovered. Folder View is the default setting  in
recent versions of Plasma, so the Desktop now behaves like the majority of KDE
users expect it to.
