Try something like:

Option "ZAxisMapping 6 7"

restart X, and run XEmacs, you'll see in the status bar:

"button6 not defined"
or
"button7 not defined"

I believe none app is able to know what a wheel event is. They all 
assume that Button4 and Button5 are map to the wheel.


Now if I do:

Option "ZAxisMapping 6 7"
*AND*
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

then you'll see that OpenOffice/ Mozilla ...is working again.

If you run 'xev' you'll see that wheel event raise button4/button5 event.

So do I. This an extremely interesting debate, but I am having headache 
as I still don't know if I understand the real problem. If so please 
apologize, and I'll just give up.

I'll keep mouse wheel event as a local change.

Thanks for your time,
