A bit more research turned up the solution to my KMail problem. It seems
there's a conflict between the **native** X wheel behaviour and the imwheel
program I run to get older applications to recognize the wheel. Killing the
imwheel process causes KMail to recognize the wheels in the expected waaay - so
now I'll have to decide if I can do without imwheel ;-)
