I use GtkNotebooks in my app (moserial), and I find this behaviour annoying.

Typically the user (well, me) wants to rapidly scroll some text in a 
textarea in the notebook, flings the wheel, and nudges the mouse 
accidentally over the tabs. In my app's case, this shifts between ASCII 
and HEX views, to general bafflement.

I can't think of a case where you would to rapidly switch through 
notebook tabs. Slow single-clicks are just fine for manipulating the tabs.

+1 for removing the wheel-changes-tabs functionality.
