The original papercut (Bug #147230) was fixed in a way which makes it impossible to re-enable the feature of switching desktops using the scroll wheel.
I also can confirm this after upgrading to Karmic (Alpha4, 2009-08-14).
Either the original "fix" to the paper cut should be undone, or there should actually be the ability to re-enable the switching with the scroll wheel. In all comments by the design team it was always said that a user could re-enable this feature if they wanted it.
