That would be a paliative, not a real solution.  It would also bypass
the mozilla settings for wheel actions (where you can for example assign
ctrl+wheel to the zoom feature, and such, cf the mouse wheel page in the
advanced section of the properties dialog).

I think the best solution would be for IBM to add wheel/stick messages
to PM, but I don't think we cannot count on it.  The second best
solution is for a leading application (and warpzilla is one such app
imho) to declare a protocol.  The third solution is for each "enhanced"
mouse driver to define a way to interact with "major" applications.

This third solution is what has been done so far, but it's quite
problematic, and not really acceptable, I think.  Hence my initial post
here.
