Re: Smooth scrolling

["Jesse W. Wilson" <syrex314@gmail.com>]

Pixel-based scrolling would be nice for my applications too. I use 
org-mode and iimage-mode to keep a laboratory notebook, and scrolling 
with this combination is awful. If I want to scan through my notes I 
have to export to html and open in a web browser to get the right feel.

Also, on my tablet PC (Windows 7), every application I have works great 
with single-finger panning (similar to the way iPod/iPad scrolls) except 
for emacs.
