Prevent accidental double launching of applications within two seconds
People are often unsure if an application has launched, and if they should double- or single-click on a button. I suggest that dockbarx record the time when an application was launched, and let it be launched again no earlier than two seconds since previous launch. I also have a patch for this. This is slightly workaroundish though; the proper way is to provide launch feedback and not allow relaunch at all except with the specific launch action.
