Comment 30 for bug 147230

i don't think it should be disabled by default, but that the user should understand what's happening. As a long date user, i like the feature and not to have to configure it, but i understand how strange it may seem.

So a good idea (to my mind), would be to first lower sensitivity by default for a scroll wheel on the desktop, and to secondly have an animation with arrows that appear when changing. The arrows may be used to show the number of workspaces (as many arrows as workspaces) or may be included like on a mac in the representation of workspaces

my 2 cents
