It could be a windowmanager preference... Okay I see a "reverse scroll 
direction" option in the KDE3.3 mouse configuration dialog. 

How does this sound for a test..
I'll flip the preference, logout, log into a non KDE session, then see what 
happens with a KDE app vs a QT app.
I have GNOME installed, but I generally don't use the desktop. If somebody is 
a regular user and a similar option exists (I'm thinking it's probably in 
Gconf) I suggest doing the same on the GTK side.
