While I don't double click, I have had times which a single click has
closed a window when I was trying to access the To Desktop menu item. 
It may be a sensitivity issue with my mouse buttons.

I kill the process as well, but I'd like to kill the source of the
problem rather than keep on deleting lock files.

Thanks for the info.
