That did not help... :(
I fiddled around with frame.c and IIRC event.c yesterday for a few
hours, trying to turn of the "catching" of events altogether, but even
then the mouse wheel did not work.

The mouse button seems to work partially now, though -- if I roll fast
enough, my xterm wants to scroll. ;)
And there is still the strange "hold middle mouse -> wheel is
working"-effect...

xev gives me the following while I constantly use the wheel:

|ButtonPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
| root 0x29, subw 0x0, time 3350097809, (409,163), root:(410,842),
| state 0x0, button 4, same_screen YES
|
|ButtonRelease event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
| root 0x29, subw 0x0, time 3350097809, (409,163), root:(410,842),
| state 0x800, button 4, same_screen YES
|
|LeaveNotify event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
| root 0x29, subw 0x0, time 3350097841, (409,163), root:(410,842),
| mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor, same_screen YES,
| focus YES, state 2048
|
|EnterNotify event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
| root 0x29, subw 0x0, time 3350097841, (409,163), root:(410,842),
| mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor, same_screen YES,
| focus YES, state 0
|
|KeymapNotify event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
| keys: 41 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
| 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
... and then more *Notify-Events...

As I said, this is a sunray setup and the Sun X-server (Xnewt), so a non
standard behaviour is possible -- but every other wm I tried worked, and
older wmii versions should work, too (I did not test one on this
machine, but I have a similar setup at home, and it's working there...
this is the next thing I'll try, going back in time and check if it
works ;)
