sometimes the wheel works, sometimes it doesn't; and also, in XFCE4
where I used to be able to use the mouse-wheel to shade a window, it
doesn't allow for me to do that anymore...
I know ya already got it sorted, but there be a way, oft discussed on this list
in the past, to have all the buttons working on your Intellimouse ('bout the
only thing MS makes that isn't shit):

Then you can use the side buttons for...stuff.
Link was working as of...now, but this guy's site seems to flake out on
occasion, not wholly unlike me.
