I already added a warning in the thinkwiki page, I'm gonna do the same
here. This is not really a method which will last. It'll break (again)
in the future, I don't know when and I don't know how/if we'll be able
to do the same kind of the stuff.

The durable way to do that is to use xinput (or, I guess the gnome
frontents). So put a call to xinput to .xsessionrc should be working (in
 Debian at least, I don't know about other distro support for
.xsessionrc, but you see the point).

I personnaly don't like that (because imho scrolling is not a user setup
but a machine setup) but it might be the only valid way at some point.

Cheers,
