Can't you just hold down the CTRL key while you twiddle the wheel?  I find
having both behaviours available lots more convenient than being forced to
move from the mouse to the keyboard arrow keys when I want to move the
cursor one line up/down.  Even more so in a selection list, where
scrolling the pane is _way_ less useful than moving the selection item up
or down.  (Any my left hand is hovering over the CTRL key almost all the
time -- so holding it down to scroll the pane when that's what I
really want is no biggie.)

What do other people think?  (What do other VMs do?)

I could reverse the behaviour (wheel => scroll pane, wheel+CTRL => move
line up/down) if that's what people prefer.

Check.  (Which is odd because none of that code has changed in
ages.  I'll investigate right away.)

The Squeak window or the xterm window?

I can't reproduce this at all.  Still, there aren't too many places where
the window ID pops up, so I'll go look very carefully.

*Thanks* for the feedback!
