Description Chris Nehren 2010-03-14 20:27:58 UTC 
I'd like a preference for optionally disabling scrolling when GdkScrollEvents are received. I'm able to implement this myself, but I'd like to make the request formal before going ahead and doing it.

What's the usecase for this?  You can always subclass VteTerminal and disable scroll events.  I don't think we want something like this upstream.

For me, I'm typing on a netbook with a touchpad that's close enough to                                                                                                  
the keyboard that I often cause scroll events with my hands without                                                                                                     
wanting to. <_< Not the best reasoning, but it's annoyed me to the point                                                                                                
that I went looking in the code to find out how to fix it.

There is a DECSET mode for this (1007) since a long time (bug 518405 and bug 709060); I think that's enought configurability here.
