The updates from the intrepid-updates repository. (aka "recommended
updates")

Ok. Then I don't know why it suddenly works for me... I had
intrepid-proposed enabled some time ago because of standby issues. But
my kernel is from the normal updates.
Maybe I have some other libs still in a newer version from proposed.

Scrolling in virtualized environments is dependent on the virtual
hardare and how the virtualization environment translates events from
the host system.
Example: With VMWare Workstation I have scrolling via wheel on an
external mouse under Ubuntu and XP as a host with XP as guest, however
scrolling via touchpad only works using Ubuntu as host.
(But this is an entirely different topic not related to this bug...)

Greetings,
