Last I checked, mouse scrolling came from discrete up/down button events
(mouse buttons 4 and 5). So the "configuration" has to happen in the
code that receives the button 4/5 events and translates them into actual
scrolling. That is typically the toolkit so I have added another GTK
task. However that won't resolve it for other toolkits like in Mozilla
apps. They would have to be fixed separately :(

A fix-all solution would be to abstract scrolling at a lower level so
that X(input) just gave you "scroll up/down by some amount". Only with a
universal solution implemented in X could you configure scroll speed for
all apps in one place. Does such a thing exist yet?...
