The best solution so far is to use xfce4-panel which doesn't support scrolling at all and looks like default gnome taskbar.

1) install xfce4-panel (thing can be installed apart from whole xfce)
2) right click on your taskbar, "Delete panel".
3) alt-F2 (will show "run command"), type "xfce4-panel" -> will start the panel
4) setup the panel, right click "properties" and "Add New Item" (add Window List)
5) add "show desktop", "workspaces" and recycle bin as they are in default ubuntu-gnome

enjoy the simplicity of xfce4 without that f**kin annoying scroll.

For the developers, that don't understand what is going on: we don't want disable scrolling everywhere, we are using it to scroll docs in Firefox, editors, everywhere. We want to disable scrolling exactly in taskbar, because it is useless there if you can't (and you can't with touchpads) scroll precisely.

KDE Plasma has no scroll too, but don't rely on this, eventually it will be there and probably without config option (explained in KDE thread)...
