i don't think it should be disabled by default, but that the user should
understand what's happening. As a long date user, i like the feature and
not to have to configure it, but i understand how strange it may seem.

So a good idea (to my mind), would be to first lower sensitivity by
default for a scroll wheel on the desktop, and to secondly have an
animation with arrows that appear when changing. The arrows may be used
to show the number of workspaces (as many arrows as workspaces) or may
be included like on a mac in the representation of workspaces

my 2 cents
