Mind you, what I find rritating is not the fact that the mouse wheel
events are routed to the application that happens to be pointed at right
now - I do see the logic, and could get used to it. What I find
irritating is the functionality it has when routed to the desktop. First
because the functionality is pretty much different, and secondly because
it may also affect what actually /is/ under the mouse cursor, as the
next turn of the wheel will bring up a different desktop with different
windows at different places. So that if for instance I scroll one
desktop too far, I may not be able to instantly scroll back, and may
have to find some empty desktop space first.

Yes, but normally just turning the wheel the other direction without
moving the mouse an inch will scroll the same control right back.
With the desktop, you may be in for a surprise there.
