Do you mean there is no way to fix this in Compiz?  If this is a Gnome
thing (GTK?), then it should be assigned as such.

Some thoughts:

I think that window widget/containers that act as pass-through for user
input events as a default is not safe.  Events, as far as I know, do not
fall through windows when using the non-Compiz window management, and
such behavior probably never has been used in any windowing system.
That is, the "window" is the last container into which events drop; and
they should be "opaque" "sinks" unless specifically designed/programmed
otherwise.

Maybe the GUI toolkit(s) used by at least Evolution, Gedit, Nautilus,
F-Spot are _actively_ passing the events through?  Should the toolkits
be added as packages in the bug?

One test would be: Make the non-Compiz desktop do something (print a
mesg?) with scroll events and see if the same bug occurs without Compiz
enabled.
