I just tried this on linux with a thinkpad nipple, seems to work just fine. Without the option enabled I had to use shift to do panning. I did not read the patch, but to me it seems like this was just a switch in behaivour of using zooming for scroll or having to hit ctrl or shift (depinding on what mode was set in settings). It does not seem to break any behaviour I usually expect.
