I think we should rather think of: in which app it makes sense, and in 
which one it doesn't.

I don't think _anyone_ uses wheel-scroll on konqueror's location bar, since
any wheel operation _loads_ a page. However in dialogs it's usually ok,
no such big action happens when wheel-scrolling.

IMHO it would make sense to have an API call to enable/disable that
feature, and disabling it in konq's location bar, and leaving it enabled
in most other combos (especially now that the khtml problem is fixed).

Please don't shout "inconsistent" - usability is the goal. Often consistency
is necessary for usability, but in this particular case, comboboxes that
simply let people select an option are very different from comboboxes
that take action upon selecting an item (like in konq's location bar).
