There's been a guideline in the HIG about this for ages:

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/input.html#mouse-buttons

        Ctrl-scrollwheel-up should zoom into the window or control under
        the mouse pointer, and Ctrl-scrollwheel-down should zoom out.
        Zooming in this way should not move keyboard focus to the window
        or control being zoomed.

There's also a remark in the draft version that Shift-scrollwheel should
probably scroll a window horizontally.

Cheeri,
Calum.
