I don't think there's really any concept of a double click in Squeak.
And actually, I kind of enjoy it. Everything you can do, is just one
click away.
One alternative to the interface you suggest, would be to have the
middle button open a new inspector, just as in Netscape.
An even better alternative, would be to try out the object explorer
instead of using the inspector.
