the problem with this is that, if a user is using another WM with xfce, the
scrolling stops working.  that's not acceptable to me.  i haven't been
following the xfwm4 patch, but if there's a hidden pref in there for
disabling the root windows scrolling, i'd rather see xfdesktop use that as a
basis for whether or not to foward the events.  or just disable/drop them.

on a side note, xfdesktop _should_ be forwarding any unused clicks to the WM,
so i'd like to incorporate some version of your code.

also, would gdk_event_put() (or gdk_display_put_event()) work?  i'd much
rather use GDK rather than xlib if the same functionality is available.  if
it's not, that's fine.
