+1 for disabling it, new users don't know what workspaces are, they are
simply confused when they do a tiny mouse-wheel scroll over the desktop
by accident and all their windows disappear. Even as someone who
understands what is happening I find that this feature often makes me
switch workspaces accidentally. It's annoying.

I also think that moving the mousewheel when over the workspacea panel
applet should be disabled. You should have to actually click on a
workspace in the panel applet to go to it. That way you are not confused
because you clicked on something and you went there, the applet now
indicates where you are, and the workspace switching animation helps
too. Just follow metacity on this.

OT I think the story about someone becoming nauseated is telling, the
default desktop effects in Ubuntu are still over the top, they should be
toned down.
