Just a quick update on my testing with Logitech SetPoint:

- I configured button 3 for "Universal scroll".  When I click button 3, moving the trackball up or down 
causes scrolling in that direction.  Unfortunately it is a toggle not a modifier, but I can work with that.
- There is also "AutoScroll", in which I can click the button and an anchor cursor appears at the mouse 
location; moving the mouse relative to the anchor causes scrolling in that direction.

The former scrolling behavior is more intuitive for me personally, however, it doesn't work in all Windows 
apps (GIMP, Inkscape, and Firefox alike).

Looks like XMouse is the next thing on my test list....
