- First install Compiz Settings Manager:
sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager

- Open the settings manager from Systems menu > Preferences > CompizConfig 
Settings Manager
- On the right under Desktop category click on Viewport Switcher
- Switch to "Desktop-Based Viewport Switching"
- Move Next and Move Prev should be disabled
- Now, click on the disabled button and set one to use Button 4 and the other 
one to use Button 5 of the mouse

You should now be able to move through your desktops by scrolling your mouse on 
the desktop wallpaper.
This may not be how it worked previously but I'm highly confident.
