-> bryner to do what he wants with it, but it's not really his problems.  He 
can only handle mousewheel events after the window receives them...

Hm, I wonder if this is another mouse driver quirk.  I'm not seeing this on an
NS6 release build... I will try a Mozilla trunk build soon and make sure my
recent changes didn't break this.

I think this is the same as bug 63462, which has more discussion and is 
targetted to an earlier milestone.
