Sure - enable desktop -based viewport switching, either thru ccsm or because of it's fall from any sort of favor thru gconf, either gconftool or gconf-editor

So as Ex. from cli

gconftool -s --type String /apps/compiz-1/plugins/vpswitch/screen0/options/next_button Button5

gconftool -s --type String /apps/compiz-1/plugins/vpswitch/screen0/options/prev_button Button4

With the default Desktop size of 2X2 & Wall scrolling on the Desktop should switch viewports continuously in one direction or the other
With the beta 0.9.7 it breaks after a couple of viewports
