If you don't use imwheel, it's not enough to define button mappings
for the wheel to the X server. You also have to define them to
your X _clients_ via additional lines in your .xresources file.
Please see http://www-sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/
I have been using a wheel mouse (with _two_ wheels !!!) since
a long time that way, and never needed imwheel at all ...
The only difference (for this functionality) between Xfree 3.x and
4.0,
is that XFree 4.0 supports natively more buttons, so that I can code
directly: ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7 (for the two wheels of my mouse).
