When you put your mouse cursor on the task bar or desktop switcher and roll the scroll wheel it switches between applications or desktops (sorta like when you alt-tab). This is all well and good however I find it to be very irritating because it always happens on accident (I am on a laptop with a touchpad). How does one go about disabling this feature?
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with gnome. Nothing fancy.
Thanks in advance.

If you're indeed using Dash-to-Panel (version 40 here) under GNOME, right-click on the Show-App icon (
) of the task bar and open "Dash-to-Panel settings", then go to Action tab and change the setting from "Scroll icon action" from "Cycle window" to "Do nothing".
Had to struggle with that one a bit too.
