This is just a newbie here and this may not apply to you, but I had trouble
with the wheelmouse and now have it working fine.  If you started imwheel -k
ONCE from root, it creates an imwheel.pid file that cannot be overwritten
(unless you change its permissions) when logged in as a user and thus
imwheel does not work when you are a user.  If that is the case, delete the
pid file as root logout and try again as user.

If you are way beyond me in this, just ignore this message.
