           Summary: Cannot disable switching desktop with mouse wheel
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ricardo.berlasso at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

In openSUSE's kde 4.1.3 (but a user in the kde forum told me it is the same in
trunk), by rotating the mouse wheel over the desktop you can switch between
desktops. This behaviour is quite problematic when using a synaptics touchpad
in a laptop, because the probability of issuing a "scrolling event" (right side
of the touchpad) instead of moving the mouse pointer is high, leading to
unwanted desktop jumps. Problem is that this behaviour cannot be disabled:
there is no option to switch it off.
Features of this kind will never be complete without an option in desktop
settings to enable/disable them.
In fact, in my opinion, this option must be _disable_ by default, and only used
when the user really wants it.
Thanks.
