It works :-)

However, not before I had to do tiny repairs to the functions
XA_wheel_event() and wheel_arrow() in XA_EVENT.C of XaAES 963.

The repairs concern the detection and handling of wheel events
on windows without corresponding arrows (your program).

Apparently I was happy with the default behaviour on windows with
arrows for existing (non MU_WHEEL) programs.
This behaviour really works.

I think at that time I already considered quitting XaAES and just
didnt test the rest properly.

I also found that the priorities are different from what I remembered.
Which means that activating arrows prevails over 'waiting_for(MU_WHEEL)'.
But that shouldnt be difficult to change.

I dont have a computer on which I can run GCC, so it is useless for me
to get write access to the CVS.

I can send the changed functions as they are now in 963+1 to
anybody who is interested. 
Only 4 lines have changed, which I have marked.
