Note that this is not only KDE. The first place where this needs to be
implemented is the Xorg server. I have done that already with my patch.
Without that or another similar implementation in Xorg, this cannot
(should not) be implemented.

Also note that there was a discussion with Xorg developers about my
patch on the Xorg mailinglist. While it works quite well and is quite
easy, this probably will not be the final implementation. It was
considered to generalize the already existing acceleration code in Xorg
and reuse that code also for mouse wheel acceleration, together with
this project:

https://github.com/x-quadraht/pscroll

It probably will take much longer though until we have all that in Xorg.
So if Ubuntu wants mouse wheel acceleration now, my patch would be a
viewable solution.

For those who never experienced mouse wheel acceleration: You really
should try that, it *greatly* improves the general user experience and
usability. I think this is quite an important thing if you want to
improve Ubuntus usability.
