I'm using fluxbox-0.9.14-r1. The option in ~/.fluxbox/init, session.screen0.windowScrollReverse, should apply to desktop wheeling as well. On my box wheel up would unshade the window and wheel down would shade it. Wheel up on the desktop (or toolbar) would change to the next workspace (right/down on a typical pager) and wheel down would go to the prev workspace (left/up). Setting windowScrollReverse: true in init fixes the shade issue, and I think it should apply to desktop wheeling as well. thoughts? I don't think my xorg.conf or .xmodmap is to blame for the default behaviour on my machine, but I could be wrong. I've included a patch that reverses desktop wheeling if windowScrollReverse is true. I noticed that in the Changelog:4049 for 0.9.13 it says "fixed reverse workspace change", but I'm unsure what the change was or if the patch is applied to 0.9.14-r1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set session.screen0.windowScrollReverse: true in ~/.fluxbox/init 2. start fluxbox 3. use the scroll wheel on the desktop Actual Results: wheel down goes to the previous workspace (left/up) wheel up goes to the next workspace (right/down) Expected Results: wheel down goes to the next workspace (right/down) wheel up goes to the previous workspace (left/up) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.14 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ ftp://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca/ http://gentoo.mirrored.ca/ ftp://gentoo.mirrored.ca/" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.ca.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac acpi alsa animation apache2 audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl dbus dri dvd emboss encode esd exif expat fam ffmpeg flac font-server foomaticdb gd gdbm gif gimpprint glut glx gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal idn imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jpeg kde lcms ldap libwww logitech-mouse lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir mng mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds procmail python qt quicktime readline real scanner sdl server slang spell ssl svg tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales vim-with-x visualization vorbis xine xinerama xml2 xmms xpm xv xvid zeroconf zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
