Gregory, reposting will not increase chances for your patch to be adopted.
Saying "this feature is the MOST important thing in the world because it's
important for ME" won't work either.
As Albert said in the other thread, we won't destroy other users' habits. I've
never used okular with a real MMB (read below), but I think I would agree on a
configuration option. Please let's move the discussion back to the original
post.

By the way, I use a ThinkPad, and I've put this lines in a autostart shell
script (they're taken from some website I no longer remember of). They activate
vertical scrolling at driver level for all applications. IIRC, you can also
enable horizontal scrolling.
I have no idea if/how you can do the same from the System Settings panel.
