Don't worry Jon, all the essential info was in English.

The Logitech FirstMouse+ is actually explicitly supported according to the
README file.

I just pulled the latest version (0.9.6) as a tarball and compiled it according
to the instructions in the README file. Works fine here. I also added 
imwheel -k in the bootup script. Not sure whether that is the right place,
though. Probably should go somewhere where kwm is started. I bet I will find
out after the next reboot.

Best regards, Alex.
