Bernhard,

I tested this patch on Windows and it causes some odd behavior.

* In Eeschema the mouse wheel is completely disabled but in Pcbnew
(legacy canvas) and GerbView the mouse wheel causes vertical scrolling.
It should be consistent across all canvases.

* The touchpad panning is not implemented in the component viewer,
component editor, footprint viewer, and footprint editor.  I would think
that we would want it implemented in these windows for the sake of
consistency.  I image the first bug report filed against this patch will
be about that.

* Is there any reason that the mouse scroll wheel behavior has to be
disabled to support the touchpad panning?  It's kind of a pain to switch
it on and off when I install my mouse on my laptop.  Perhaps remapping
the touchpad events to the appropriate mouse wheel events would do the
trick so that both behaviors could exist at the same time.

Thanks,

Wayne
