I've looked at that, would be nice! Unfortunately, in Squeak, the mouse wheel is simulated as keyboard events. It would require some hacking to pick these up and send to the mouse focus instead. If there is sufficient interest I'll take a stab at it.
Thanks. Gary.

I hope this is not a repeat, or worse yet reflective of my not having installed a new enough release, but _almost_ as much as I think keyboard focus should be managed very carefully and independent of the mouse cursor location, I think the mouse wheel input should follow the mouse cursor, even so far as scrolling panes that are not active, and not even part of the active shell. First, I just noticed Ubuntu, its graphical terminal, and OpenOffice do this to good effect (as just one example); second, if I am typing, mouse movement is probably made to avoid visual distraction from the cursor, if I am turning the mouse wheel, it is almost certainly a deliberate action associated with the cursor location. Fair?
