A weird problem started a couple of weeks ago after a world update to sabayon linux that I thought was caused by the update. I later found it was caused by me...lol
The problem was that any single click in kde was registered as a double click and that the mouse settings in kcontrol for either single click or double click did not matter. I also was not able to close firefox tabs unless I clicked three times and I was not able to open any drop down menu's like file, edit, view, etc in most all applications. I also was not able to right click on most input boxes, such as this forum post, or on any of the kde taskbars and menus.
I found the problem was actually caused by me changing the settings for the X server when my mouse started acting weird (which was later attributed to the battery in my wireless mouse going bad). In gentoo/sabayon, these settings are in /etc/X11/xorg.conf The mistake was that I had two different mouse settings both active. Here is the example with the problem fixed by commenting out the duplicate in the Mouse2 section:
