So what you are basically seeking is a way for setting the mouse scroll 
to a different value other than three lines at a time, right? 

I recall this could be set from KDE mouse configuration settings but this 
was in the times of KDE3... now in GNOME I see no option under mouse 
settings to configure this :-?

Mmm, AFAIK that's for mapping the wheel button to another one or another 
axis (vertically/horizontally), not for controlling the number of the 
lines to scroll up/down.

I'm not sure how to achieve this. There has to be an option for the 
current mouse driver you are using (mouse, evdev...?) but e.g., "man 
evdev" returns no option available to control this setting.
