Well, it confirms that someone else thinks it belongs in X :-)

It seems to me that if the OP of that bug succeeds, all you'd get is
_more_ lines/rows of scroll, not fewer - it would still need changes in
the app.

But I'm inclined to agree with the other view, that the mouse wheel just
gives button events, and it's up to the app to interpret them - possibly
referring to a system-wide (or DE-wide) configuration - since it clearly
means something different depending on the type of app.
