pgtk mouse wheel speed

[Jindřich Makovička]

Hi,

I am really happy with the PGTK Emacs so far - about the only thing
that annoys me is the mouse scrolling wheel behavior - setting the
_per_char parameters to 2 cause Emacs to ignore every second mouse
wheel "click", which makes the scrolling really slow, at least when
one is used to the scroll rate of 5 lines per wheel click the ordinary
X Emacs uses.

I am currently applying the patch below to bring things back to normal
- is there any way to override the scrolling speed without patching the
source?
