Description Eric Polin 2016-02-02 09:51:22 UTC 
Under Xfce/Xfwm4 alone, either w/ Touchpad/ReverseScroll enabled, or after w/ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 8 9 10 11 12"

Happens w/ gtk3-demo -help, evolution...

Other programs (firefox, thunar, and even gimp) scroll appropriately

Works here in gtk3-demo 3.19.x using libinput
Comment 2 Olivier Fourdan 2016-02-02 10:17:40 UTC 
Check in dconf for a key named natural-scroll in org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals for your touchpad, I reckon gnome apps also use a specific dconf setting for natural scrolling.

This is only useful for applications not using XInput2, like...

... GTK2 applications.

For GTK3 applications using modern(-ish) X11 extensions you'll need to use other ways to set up reverse scrolling.
