mouse wheel over taskbar...

Hi to all,

Is there anyway to switch OFF mouse wheel over taskbar (KDE 3.4).
When mouse wheel is used over taskbar, then it cycles thru windows, or thru tabs in Terminal. Somehow mouse wheel is defined as "cycle thru windows" something like Alt-Tab.

That is really anoying when I using touchpad.
I know it's possible to switch off mouse wheel in xorg.conf but then I want be able to use it Firefox, and some other Programs.

Any solutions?

thanks for replys

John

Right click on the Panel, and click on the "Taskbar" icon on the left side of the configuration dialog. In the actions group change the settings for the "Middle button". I don't know where the settings for the mouse wheel cycling are for the konsole program. When I looked in the settings, shift-right and shift-left where listed for cycling through konsole tabs.

Yes, I know that, but that makes no difference.
This middle button options in Taskbar are only for "middle button click", not for wheeling it

In the Control Center -> Desktop -> Taskbar Middle button option is where you change the behavior does not seem to be any off option for it though.
