ignore additional launches

[Mark Grieveson <dg135@torfree.net>]

Hello.  I set up a computer in a homeless shelter, with access to the 
internet.  It's KDE, with launchers on the desktop (I find that people 
with little computer experience do not like the "start" button; so, a 
set up reminiscent of a Windows 3.11 desktop is best, where everything 
is plain to see -- hence, the various launchers on the desktop.)

One problem, though, is some people feel that to press the mouse more 
will speed up the opening of an application (like Firefox, for 
example.)  They'll repeatedly press the mouse, perhaps thirty times, 
while the program is opening.  Then, they'll report to me that "the 
computer is not working again."  I'll go and close 29 (twenty-nine) of 
the Firefox windows, leaving one open, and let them know "it is now 
fixed."  It's set on the KDE standard of one click to launch a program, 
because many people find it difficult to click twice in succession.  
Opening two Firefox windows (or mahjongg, or whatever) is not a huge 
concern.  I may change the kde cursor default to the windows cursor 
style, though.

Is there a way to have applications that are opening ignore subsequent 
requests to open?
