all scroll too much when I use the extra Bluetooth trackpad of an iMac (27“, Late 2013) instead of the Mighty Mouse.

For example in Safari, reading an entry in Wikipedia, the scrolling action is OK, I can easily synchronize speed of reading and speed of scrolling. In the NS variants the scrolling is much too fast, I would need to move my two fingers by µm/sec and not by human mm/sec. Or is there a hidden setting I have to change?

The X client,

In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.4.0, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11604000

 `configure --with-x '--enable-locallisppath=/Library/Application
 Support/Emacs''

Important settings:
  value of $LANG: de_DE.UTF-8
  locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix

behaves quite OK with XQuartz 2.7.8 (xorg-server 1.16.4) and XQuartz 2.7.9 (xorg-server 1.17.4). Here it’s possible to set the amount or speed of scrolling.

(Mac) OS X 10.11.5 (15F34), El Capitan. Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth trackpad.
