I have just upgraded my laptop (Thinkpad X40) to gutsy in the last few
days and encountered this.

If I launch a regular gnome terminal and generate a lot of output (e.g.
ls -la /etc/) and scroll with the mousewheel it moves back and forth
through the history correctly.

If I then run screen inside the terminal and generate a lot of output,
instead of behaving as above, the scrollwheel just does the equivalent
of pressing up and down cursor keys - ie yes, it scrolls the command
history.

I am able to reproduce this with an entirely new user with no bash,
screen or gnome-terminal configuration. I am also able to reproduce it
with a python script which uses vte. FWIW, I scroll using the middle
mouse button and EmulateWheel (xorg.conf option). For me this is a
regression from Feisty.

ii  libvte9                                   1:0.16.6-0ubuntu2 
ii  gnome-terminal                    2.18.1-1ubuntu

Please let me know if you need any more info.
