This doesn't quite make sense to me. Pointer acceleration in X isn't a client specific function, and the mouse wheel is - ultimately - just another pointer axis, with smooth scrolling expressing that properly now. Surely with proper mouse wheel axes now, it would simply be a matter of letting a pointer acceleration profile be defined for those axes?
