Sorry, I missed the beginning of this thread. Don't use imwheel in KDE 2.x or 
3.x, it is not only unnecessary, it breaks KDE.  Let XFree86 take care of it 
for you.

If you have an optical intellimouse explorer, with a two buttons on top, and a 
wheel (which counts as three buttons, one if you click it, one if you scroll 
it forwards, and one if you scroll it backwards) and two more on the side, 
that's a total of 7.  Tell X you have 6 buttons, and that 4 and 5 are the 
wheel, by editing your XF86Config file something like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto" #<- Set this as directed in the X11 docs
        Option      "Device" "/dev/yourdevice" #<- and this one
        Option      "Buttons" "7"  #<- Total number of buttons
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" #<- Which ones are the wheel
EndSection

The protocol you may have to experiment with.  I don't have an MS mouse, 
perhaps someone else on the list does, or you can find illumination in the 
documentation:

For the ZAxisMapping info

For a long list of mice, and what protocol to choose, luckily intellimouse is 
first in the list
