I get the scrolling functionality in Thunderbird *only*.  When I am 
viewing messages in Tbird, and click the middle button, I get a circle 
drawn on the screen with up and down buttons, and if the text is wider 
than my viewing window, left and right.  Any movement of the cursor 
(with the trackpoint - I don't have a touchpad) results in scrolling in 
the direction of movement.  The only mouse options I have set in 
xorg.conf are Protocol and Device.
