My xorg installation has developed an infuriating habit of freaking out its ZAxisMapping after it's been running for a day or two. It doesn't lose the mapping entirely, but just reassigns it. The result is that my vertical scroll wheel becomes a horizontal scroll wheel, and my horizontal scroll wheel becomes a double-speed horizontal scroll wheel.
It's an absolute pain in the arse because it seems the only way to get it working again is to restart the X server, which of course means I lose all my state in the open applications. However the fact that the X server manages to screw itself up on the fly without restarting itself does tend to suggest that there might be a way to make it unscrew itself without restarting, if only I knew what it was. Trying to change the mouse behaviour with kcontrol or gnome-control-center doesn't do anything (and in any case neither of those appears to know about mice with more than one scroll wheel anyway).
