What precisely didn't it add? What > more is needed to make it a good thing to install? 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... -- Kim F.
