[IDV #VGL-535642]: cannot open subirs/files when doing File Open

It's a Java thing and seems to be more noticeable on some systems
than others.  For example, I don't run into this problem on
Windows as Jeff does on Linux.  The only solution is to
make sure you double click on the icon and not the name.  Otherwise,
Jeff's solution is to click once on the folder and click
return.
