Changing viewports on scroll is unexpected, and literally nauseating for many people.

Yesterday, I was watching a friend play around with her new installation of Jaunty (first time Linux user) when she accidentally scrolled her mouse with her cursor over her desktop. Viewports started changing very rapidly, and the desktop effects were so intense that she literally put her hand in front of her face to block the screen and turned in her chair to look at the floor.

I think that we should disable viewport switch on scroll, for trackpads and all other mice.
