[Usability] scroll wheel in eog2

[Gerald Champagne <gerald io com>]

What happened to the scroll wheel function in eog2?  Previously the
scroll wheel would zoom in and out of a photo, but now it acts like the
normal vertical scroll bar.  With the hand cursor, this is redundant. 

Is this intentional?  This new operation may be more consistant, but it
is much less usable when using eog to inspect digital photographs.  Is
there any chance the old behaviour could be an option?  I know there is
an emphasis to remove options, but this one was very useful.  

Thanks.
