Trying to disable the mouse wheel in gnome-terminal
 
Is it possible to disable the mouse wheel in gnome-terminal?

I need to use the mouse wheel in gnome-terminal without it being captured, so that the shell (gnu screen in this case) can respond to wheel use. I tried adapting the xterm way of doing this by replacing "xterm" and "xterm*vt100" with "gnome-terminal" in the following xrdb input:
Code:
XTerm*saveLines: 0
XTerm*vt100.translations: #override \n\
  Ctrl <Btn4Down>: string(0x1b) string("[25S") \n\
  Lock Ctrl <Btn4Down>: string(0x1b) string("[25S") \n\
  Lock @Num_Lock Ctrl <Btn4Down>: string(0x1b) string("[25S") \n\
  @Num_Lock Ctrl <Btn4Down>: string(0x1b) string("[25S") \n\
  <Btn4Down>: string(0x1b) string("[5S") \n\
  Ctrl <Btn5Down>: string(0x1b) string("[25T") \n\
  Lock Ctrl <Btn5Down>: string(0x1b) string("[25T") \n\
  Lock @Num_Lock Ctrl <Btn5Down>: string(0x1b) string("[25T") \n\
  @Num_Lock Ctrl <Btn5Down>: string(0x1b) string("[25T") \n\
  <Btn5Down>: string(0x1b) string("[5T") \n\
  Shift <KeyPress> Prior: string(0x1b) string("[25S") \n\
  Shift <KeyPress> Next: string(0x1b) string("[25T") \n
That did not work. The mouse wheel still scrolls back in gnome-terminal.

I think what you will have to do there is to recompile the gnome terminal and take over the mousewheel event for youself, if the mousewheel event has a unique action, you can create a pipe or similar to your own application. tricky.
