Bug in xfce4-rc1

[Ric]

Hey blu:

Thanks for the info. I, too, quit using imwheel a long time ago but found it
necessary 
with the '7' button wheel mouse.  As I recall, the wheel did not work anywhere
until I started using imwheel.  Now, only the XFce DE has the 'no-wheel-itis'
on this MDK9 system.
The "ExplorerPS/2" is supposed to work and does AFAIK- it is a '7' button
wheel mouse also and the only one I could find that does have 4 buttons plus
the wheel which is considered 3 buttons.  However, I will try not using
imwheel and maybe use 'auto'.  I don't think I tried that particular combo
before ...
