[Simon Steinbeiß <ochosi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Simon Steinbeiß has proposed merging lp:~ochosi/xubuntu-default-settings/xfwm4_disable_scrollevents into lp:xubuntu-default-settings.

Requested reviews:
  Pasi Lallinaho (knome)
  Xubuntu Developers (xubuntu-dev)

For more details, see:

This branch (1) disables scroll-to-switch-workspace to avoid confusing users who trigger this event unknowingly by scrolling over the desktop (especially when using a touchpad). Furthermore, this makes sense as the workspace-switcher isn't part anymore of the default panel layout, so there's no good visual indication for the user what happens when scrolling.

It also (2) disables scrolling to shade a window. There is a button people can easily add and the feature can be activated easily in the settings, but I don't think it makes sense by default and is rather confusing than helpful to most.
