In others it doesn't - or even works wrong. Most applications don't support a wheel mouse internally, at all - so expecting them to support two wheels is kind of far out. Unlike some GUIs, writing for X (or GTK or whatever toolkit you use), you don't get correct wheel behaviour by default. you have to code it yourself (like mozilla does, for example - catching the "button" events and responding properly). Another way to go about it, is to map the wheel's scrolling "button" events to a keyboard even that you want them to issue (PgDn/PgUp or cursor-right/cursor-left) by using Xresources (I think) this can be done per application, and after careful setting you can get the behaviour you want from each application you work with (possibly - some behaviours do not map to any keyboard combination, and hence cannot be used with mouse wheels w/o a bit of coding).

This is definetly something you should code into the application - by default, in any application, the wheel scroll only the "active" view (becuase its actually doing PgUp/PgDn key events) - to get any different behaviour you'll need to code it. as to the weird way KMail reacts to the second wheel - I can't say I understand why it does it - I can only assume that maybe one of KMail developers has a two wheel mouse and though that having the second wheel scroll a different view would be a good idea. programmers- go figure ;-) Oded -- Was it Ritchie or Thompson who said about X: "Sometimes, when you fill a vacuum, it still sucks"? ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
