Hehe, and still I managed to teach me, my wife, even my 50 year old mother and 
my ~80 year old grandfather _not_ to double click in linux. I think school 
kids are actually smarter then you might think. And they learn fast.

The problem seems to be that the first click on the "next"/"ok" button changes 
the form and the second click already reaches the "next"/"ok" button of the 
second form. So if you don't want to disable the whole form because of 
flashing, maybe just disable the button under the mouse for 0.5-1 seconds after 
showing the form?
Should be far easier then dealing with the whole event-stuff yourself...

And if you want to teach them about double-click vs. single-click, the button 
stays enabled but when clicked within the first second it pops up an 
educational message with a funny picture.

Have fun,

Arnold
