The change I made was pretty low-level and for X only.
Its sole purpose was to avoid stray mouse-2 events during scrolling
with the mouse.
It allowed you to specify what buttons correspond to the "mouse
wheel", e.g. mouse-4 and mouse-5 and what button is associated with
the wheel, e.g. mouse-2. It would then block mouse-2 for 200 ms (or so)
after receiving a mouse-4 or mouse-5 event.
The emacs developers didn't want a fix at this level -- they preferred
adding mouse-wheel support to X (similar to the w32 mouse-wheel support).
Since noone has done that (yet), the original problem persists...
