Can you envisage a setup where you have more than one IntelliMouse
connected to the server? And be able to use it usefully? I don't
really see why you would want to run more than one imwheel process
on one system...
Unless, of course, the imwheel process doesn't run on the system
where the mouse is physically connected? I still can't imagine
a setup where you need more than one imwheel process running, though...
