Here is a patch to make the mousewheel cycle through viewports.
Created attachment 106696 [details] [review] the patch
Created attachment 120904 [details] [review] Enable viewport-based scrolling My own version of this patch -- separates scrolling logic into three functions, next_index(), scroll_workspace(), scroll_viewport(). In Compiz mode, uses scroll_viewport(). Otherwise, uses the old code in scroll_workspace(). Applies against 2.24.
Bump. I'm sure this patch will need to be updated for latest git but any comments on either approach would be appreciated.

Just wondering if there's anything keeping this patch from being integrated?
Just tested the first patch listed above against the latest code in SVN. It still applies cleanly and works with both Metacity and Compiz.
John's patch tests for compiz instead of testing if viewports are in use, probably not the best idea as other window managers can use viewports and technically (although almost no one uses it) compiz can use virtual desktops instead of viewports. In either case this code will fail to work correctly.
Bump again.
I'm looking forward to integrating this patch. It's a feature I really miss.
