Let me show my ignorance: where is the autostart folder and how did you make the link to
'imwheel -k'? I have to admit that I am fairly ignorant about how window managers and in particular
kde work.
Anyway, I found out that /sbin/init.d/boot.local is _not_ the right place for 'imwheel -k'. 
I have it now at the end of /opt/kde/bin/startkde just before 'exec kwm' and it seems to work
fine whenever I start up kde (this was suggested by someone in a previous post to this thread).

There is one glitch that I found in the documentation, though. If you follow the instructions for
setting it up with emacs you may end up getting not the desired result (at least not the one I
desired). The suggested entries in the .imwheelrc file will actually allow you to scroll in
emacs only when you press the left shift button. I threw out the .imwheelrc file and just put
the suggested lines into my .emacs file and now it looks pretty neat, allows me to scroll and all.
:-).

Well, maybe more than you think. I looked over your XF86Config file and the mouse entries are
the same as in mine.

Ciao e salutami la bella Italia, Alex.
