No problem, Bradley already replied to me privately.
Now I only need a response from the XFree86 team :)

Cool :)

I'm having a look at the latest snapshot. It seems that the orientation is 
there, but it's not set competely correctly.
Now, you just check for the Alt key to be pressed and then consider that it's 
a horizontal event.
That way, you're not supporting two wheel mice (nor the two wheels emulation, 
which, btw, didn't get a response from the XFree team yet)
check with Bradley to see what it's used like. If there are buttons for 
horizontal events like there are for vertical ones, they should be taken in 
mind (IMHO) when checking for Button4 and Button5 (so taking 6 and 7 for the 
horizontal ones and maybe leaving the Alt key as a modifier too for users who 
have one wheel and don't want to use the emulation)

Btw, sorry for using Direction through my patch, I forgot Qt::Orientation 
existed (in fact, I looked for Qt::Direction and was surprised because it 
didn't exist :) )

Do you (or Bradley) want another patch (against the latest snapshot) ? or 
will you take care of it ?
