KDE Control Center, just above Home in the KDE3 K menu. Select Peripherals 
then Mouse. Same panel can be reached from the Configuration menu, then KDE 
then peripherals and mouse as above.

Had a quick look and although you can adjust the time delay, there seems no 
comparable option in Gnome. Perhaps there's a theme that can be applied that 
would have this effect? However, Google found:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/getting-started-guide/ch-gnome60.html
Choose Double-Click or Single-Click 

You can configure the mouse to activate files and applications with a double- 
or a single-click, whichever you prefer. Click on the icon for the Nautilus 
Start Here screen on the desktop (there is also one on the panel). This opens 
the file manager. Click on Preferences at the top of the screen and then 
select Edit Preferences. The preferences screen opens, showing a list of 
configurable options on the left. Click on Icon and List Views. Now make your 
selection for double or single mouse click in the top section of this window. 
Click on Ok and this change takes place immediately.
