Your X server has to be configured to support mouse wheels.
Doesn't XFdrake do this for you? It should! 
Then KDE 2 and all GTK (which implies GNOME) applications will
work out of the box with your wheel. Imwheel (which is a nasty
hack to provide mouse wheel support for stupid applications)
is evil stuff and for crack junkies only.

Just add

  Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5"

in your "InputDevice" section in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
This is for XFree 4.x only. XFree 3.x has a slightly different
syntax I can't remember.

Cheers,
Andreas
