Comment 5 for bug 414170

More info:

After talking with mac_v on IRC he suggested to search gconf for "scroll_enabled" which on my system did not produce any results. These leads us to the idea that the gconf was deprecated.

Saivann: I can't find the code that you linked to from the original bug report to disable this by default, no I'm not even sure what the change was that was made. The link that doesn't work: https://code.launchpad.net/~saivann/compiz/mousewheel_disabled
