I see things like this:
1. The wheel/slider mapping must be the same system-wide
2. Wheel-up should increase, wheel-down should decrease.
I would write "must" here, if it wasn't for the problem
with point 1. I wrote to the GTK list, but nobody seems
to care.
Do you mean that you got no response, or that they don't consider this a
bug? It's pretty clearly a bug if they don't allow the mapping to be
set at widget creation time, because the way it works is completely
opposite of how 9/10 people expect it to work.
So it should be about making the GTK and QT folks see
the
light, or only using fan-sliders which are different enough
to behave differently.
There have been some reports that QT sliders work the way you would
expect them to. More information is needed in this area.
