hi harry/ralph
i was trying too what ralph described, but for some reason i cant start
imwheel as user.....only as root.....
typing imwheel -k as user results in following :
couldnt write pid to pid file : no permission
i already changed permissions on /usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel* with chown and
chgrp <user>, also $HOME/.imwheelrc
but problem remains......
srolling with mousewheel as root user works pretty good-----would
appreciate doing it as normal user too.....
hope u can help
