Add the following line to your mouse settings in XF86Config to enable the 
wheel in X/KDE:

  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

(Assuming it's a 2-button mouse with the wheel being 3rd button when pressed. 
Otherwise you may need to map buttons 5 and 6 or so to the Z axis.)

I hope it's not up to kde-kiosk to solve that for you ;)

You did make a tarball of the system before you shipped it yourself I hope? 

The good thing about Linux is that you don't need full-blown disk images and 
that a tarball plus a rescue cd is enough to fully restore a system, even on 
a different harddisk :)
