Scrolling using a Trackpad on Wallstreet?



Hi,

I am rather new to Linux, and am trying to make the transition from OS X as painless as possible, so I installed Ubuntu on my Lombard Powerbook and Kubuntu on my Wallstreet with G4 upgrade. So far I have been able to make KDE work more like OS X than Gnome, but there is one area where it doesn't, and it is driving me nuts. I installed mouseemu so I could have trackpad scrolling (would be nicer if you didn't have to hold the modifier key down...). The scrolling works, but only when the mouse cursor is hovering over the scroll bar. In Gnome (on the Lombard) it works anywhere in the window. Any idea how to fix this?

I know this is the Debian list, but I've already searched the Ubuntu and Kubuntu wikis and forums and it seems that Ubuntu is based on Debian and this is obviously where the knowledge on Debian resides.

Thanks for the help!

Rob
