Pan by holding down scroll button already works (Was: Zoom patch)

But about the second, here's what Gnome has to say about the middle button/wheel, from the same link:

 "Your application uses the middle button to paste the current
  PRIMARY (usually the last-highlighted) selection at the pointer
  position. (snipped a table about modifier keys). If you do intend
  to use the middle button for a different purpose somewhere,
  only do so as a shortcut for experienced users, and only for
  operations that can also be performed without using the right
  button or middle button."

Does PRIMARY pasting work in Dia?  I just tried the following:
* Select an object
* Click the scroll wheel

If I do a click, nothing happens. However, if I click and move the mouse, the windows pans :-) :-)

So regarding 'pan', I'm pleased to say that:

        It's ALREADY possible to pan by clicking the scroll wheel and
        dragging the mouse. :-) :-)

I'm saying this in case others weren't aware that you can pan in dia in this way.

Now I only wish that it will be possible to adjust the behaviour of the scroll wheel (so that the scroll wheels zooms instead of pans vertically).

best regards
