Description

Created attachment 9685 Patch to add mousewheel_lower option.

I just switched from LXDE (with openbox) to XFCE (with XFWM). Under openbox, scrolling the mouse wheel up on a window's title bar rolls-up the window (shades the window) as well as unfocusing it and lowering it. I utilized this to have multiple windows in the same place, and to change between them I would quickly scroll up then down over the title bar location.

Under XFCE there is a setting that makes scrolling up on the mouse wheel over a window's title bar shade/roll-up the window, but does not remove focus from the window or lower the window.

I am submitting a basic patch (from commit af7db8ee ) to add this feature (as the "mousewheel_lower" option), as well as a checkbox for the option in xfwm-tweaks-dialog under the "mousewheel_rollup" option's checkbox.

This patch adds a new translatable string for the option description (in settings-dialogs/xfwm4-tweaks-dialog.glade), but I don't know how localization works, so this patch does not add the string to the localization.
