11 I don't know about the mouse wheel smooth-scrolling, and don't have
12 Firefox installed so can't try it there, but I just found the Konqueror
13 auto-scroll feature, quite by accident. I'm running KDE 3.4.1, and have
14 no idea if it's in earlier versions or not, since I just discovered it,
15 but try hitting shift-arrow (up, down, left, or right). Auto-scrolling!
16 Hitting any key (no, not /the/ "any" key! <g>) to stop the scrolling.
17
18 I think there's probably some way to adjust the speed, but I'm not sure
19 where. It's possible it's (presently) only adjustable by editing a config
20 file, not graphically.
