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?
