Wow. How do you pan with a scroll wheel? Do you have a mouse with two  
wheels? Or do you use different keys to get up/down and left/right?

Now that I think about it. Why do we need a configuration? Keep pan/zoom  
on the middle mouse button for mice without scroll wheels, then put  
pan?/zoom on the scroll wheel as well.
