Not necessarily. Actually, that method gave me problems. I got gpm and X
working together harmoniously by simpling setting my gpm repeat protocol to
nothing (it seems to want to default to ms3, even when the mouse type is
imps2).

Netscape 4.x is the only app this doesn't work with. I have the same mouse as
yours, and all I use is the ZAxisMapping line and I don't use imwheel. I think
that possibly the one app imwheel is good for is NS 4.x. All gnome and kde
apps scroll fine without it as does Mozilla and Opera.
It mya be possible to tell imwheel to only affect certain apps, so that may be
a possible solution. I just don't use NS4 unless I have to, preferring
Mozilla, Opera, or Konqueror over it. I know that if imwheel affects
everything, then it makes wheel-aware apps scroll extra lines, which is
annoying.
