Sebastien: 
I've tested the if my macbook pro pad registers natural scrolling and it does 
not. To clarify, when my fingers glide over the pad towards me, the on-screen 
document scrolls to the bottom of the page rather than to the top (as it should 
in natural/reverse scrolling).

So unless setting 5 before 4 in .Xmodmap is screwing up a gtk's already
implemented, it's still a problem on pads, nor is it working with mice.

As for gnome picking up this feature because it's part of gtk, well,
I've looked at Unity's mouse preference pane and there's nothing called
smooth scrolling there, much like the case with nautilus' preference
pane, too.

As for that term, "smooth scrolling"  is confusing and reading about it
on the net shows that some talk about literally "smooth" transitions
from top to bottom (& vice versa) in  any document, as opposed to jerky
movement (jumping 2 or 3 lines with each movement of the wheel of the
mouse).  Again, to be clear, I believe both Ronald and I are not
referring to this feature. We're only concerned with, as is this bug,
the cause and effect of directionality of movement with any and all
pointer apparatus.
