I was trying the approach described in the SWT Snippet #46 to detect double-clicks in a populated composite.  I've added a bunch of other widgets to Snippet46, including nested Composites and Groups, with assorted callbacks, and it continue to work.

Unfortunately this approach (attaching a listener to the shell) doesn't work for an Eclipse view.  I'm not sure what's different about this situation, nor what is necessary to get the equivalent behaviour.

Steps to repeat:
1. From Eclipse, create a new view plugin (File > New > Plugin Project > ... > Plug-in with a view.
2. Open the view's SampleView.java.  Add the following at the bottom of the createPartControl() method:

		parent.getShell().addListener(SWT.MouseDoubleClick, new Listener() {
			public void handleEvent(Event event) {
				System.out.println("MouseDoubleClick");
			}});
		parent.getShell().addListener(SWT.MouseMove, new Listener() {
			public void handleEvent(Event event) {
				System.out.println("MouseMove");
			}});

On MacOS X, I see "MouseMove" only when the cursor is on the titlebar or at the very fringes of the window borders.  I never see "MouseDoubleClick" printlns.
