Comment 26 for bug 150443

I actually use Metacity rather than Compiz solely because it allows me to use the scroll wheel on the pager, so you can count me among the people who find this super useful.

Also, thought I'd mention, there is a bug in Gnome bugzilla about this complete with patch to make the functionality work with Compiz: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520779
