What a beautiful coincidence :-) But the best thing is that there is a patch already done for having the "feature" implemented at Xorg. > It seems to me that if the OP of that bug succeeds, all you'd get is > _more_ lines/rows of scroll, not fewer - it would still need changes in > the app. Wheel sroll speed is slow (at least with my basic 3 button mouse I also barely get 3 lines up/down which can be quite annoying depending on the document lentgh). But if there is a patch to speed it up, I see no compeling reason for not having the opposite and make the wheel scrolls slowly. > But I'm inclined to agree with the other view, that the mouse wheel just > gives button events, and it's up to the app to interpret them - possibly > referring to a system-wide (or DE-wide) configuration - since it clearly > means something different depending on the type of app. I don't share that POV. IMO, it will be desiderable to be possible to tweak both options: one (system wide) that affects all applications managed via Xorg's mouse driver and also having the possibility to control wheel speed for every application. This will result in a fine grained configuration that will suit every user need.
