well, this is certainly strange.  i've looked at my xorg.conf to see
if i have anything out of the ordinary.  my mouse section is:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Configured Mouse"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "CorePointer"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option         "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
#    Option         "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
#    Option         "Buttons" "7"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

i tried both the ImPS/2 and ExplorerPS/2 protocols; both of which
scroll 12 lines per mouse wheel in xfce4-terminal.  i have a usb
mouse, so does it make sense to use the PS/2 protocol?

i checked out xterm, konsole, and gnome-terminal as well.  xterm and
konsole scroll 3 lines per mouse wheel, but gnome-terminal scrolls 12
lines as does xfce4-terminal.  any other configuration that i should
look at?  can anyone else confirm this bug or confirm Yves-Alexis's
observation?

thanks.
mike
