I determined what changes I needed to make -- the beta series wheel
mouse patch only applies to switching workspaces, and thus only affected
Screen.cc; the original patch I had was from x0r, and also had code for
the window shading and thus affected Window.cc. I determined where to
insert the code, did so, compiled, and everything works beautifully now.

Since I know others on the list like to use this particular patch, I've
now got another question: how do I make the patch? I'm not a C
programmer, and I don't normally create or use patches. Do I simply do a
diff on my files versus the original source?

Thanks,
Matthew
