Actually, my touch pad only has a vertical scrolling edge, but I can't
use gEDA / PCB effectively after having used _any_ other apps in GNOME.

My workaround has been to patch my local defaults to be the GNOME'y
default of Ctrl+Scroll == ZOOM. In the cases of gschem and PCB, this is
just a matter of editing a config file.

If I handed either app to a brand-new user, I'd feel more comfortable
giving them the defaults I use - but wouldn't want to inflict the change
on existing users.
