Bug in xfce4-rc1

[Ric]

Hi Mike:

Just to update.  Using or not using imwheel has no affect for the wheel. 
However, without the imwheel the side buttons go dead in the other DEs and
aps. 
The wheel (and side buttons when imwheel is running) appear to work everywhere
but in XFce v4. The "everywhere" is a few aps I just tried in IceWM, Gnome 2,
KDE 3, Blackbox,... 

I have run so many diff configs and DE's in the last month, i dunno, maybe it
is just me. Maybe it works but I just think it does not. :-)   I don't think
the page scrolls but then again I could have sworn that I could double click
on the XFce clock and get the xfce calendar too....

Thanks for trying to help. Maybe I'll find out what it is in XFce v4 that
stops the wheel from scrolling one day soon but for now, I think I'll just
take a break & use something else where 
(I think) it does work.
