My mouse double clicking automatically

I did something stupid and upgraded a bit more than I should have, so I had to reconfigure xorg.conf to manage to start X again. And after this happend my mouse is double clicking autormatically every time I click it. I have no idea where to start fixing this problem, so any help would be appreciated. But I have a feeling that reinstalling or downgrading all packages to stable again would be the easy way out.

Just for reference, right now I just have:

Section "InputDevice"
IdentiSection "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
EndSection


in xorg.conf, but some how it seems to be two drivers or something that both reads my mouse input.

Any ideas?

Just an idea but could it be in you window manager settings that the double click speed is set very fast so it appears to be auto double click.
Also I would check settings in window manager and alter them for the mouse to first single click etc. so settings get reset.

Thanks for the tip. I'm using ION3, and changed it to 1000ms but it is still double clicking form me, and I can't be that slow :p

Also xev seems to read double click if I single click:
