[Interest] Globally Converting QTapAndHoldGesture to Mouse Double Click

[Joshua Grauman]

That is a good thought, but I don't think that is the problem. I have a 
double click event handler on one of my widgets, and it's not even getting 
called. I would think that sending a double click event would cause the 
double click event handler to be called, so that's why I think that 
somehow I'm not sending the double click event correctly or somehow it 
isn't getting to the appropriate widget... Thanks.
