Okay, now, I think that 2-2 is the best here because:

1. if we ban diagonal wheel events with specific modifier key, horizontal 
scroll might be too slow if the device can cause diagonal scroll easily (even 
if user expects only vertical scroll).
2. if we also take deltaX as horizontal scroll, horizontal scroll might be too 
fast if user does diagonal scroll.

Then, we can treat the new action as simple default action. I'll rewrite
the implementation of ESM::WheelPrefs.

Title:
  [Shift + Mouse-Scroll-Wheel] Does NOT Scroll Horizontally

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Fix Released
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In Chromium, I can scroll horizontally using my mouse-wheel by holding
  down the shift key while scrolling the mouse wheel.

  Firefox is missing this very convenient page-navigation short-cut.

  
  Use Case:

  As my eyes age, I find myself always scaling up the web pages I read
  (by holding down crtl and scrolling my mouse wheel).

  Doing this, often makes the page exceed the width of my monitor
  (hiding the right-side of the text I want to read) and produces a
  horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page.

  At this point, since I've already used ctrl-scroll-mouse-wheel to
  magnify the page, it would be wonderful if I could use shift-scroll-
  mouse-wheel to horizontally-scroll the magnified page and therefore
  center the (previously cropped) text that I am wanting to read.
