Interesting.  I have a USB Logitech mouse that I had assumed was 
just "clicked out" becuase it's doing the same thing.  Really tired of 
doing things like deleting more than one e-mail at a time because the 
mouse is sending multiple button action events for what is supposed to be 
a single click.  I've also had problems with "drag and drop" type actions 
(i.e., both a button down and a button up event appear to be sent even 
though I'm holding the button down) so just "fixing" the double click 
sensetivity isn't the end of your mouse problem.  Replace or, as per the 
other response, repair it (I'd probably burn the house down if I went 
after it with a soldering iron so I'll replace mine).

Cheers,
Dave
