The scroll events are simple. They are really mouse ButtonPress events.
Button 4 is up, button 5 is down, button 6 is left and button 7 is
right. In response to these events application scrolls the view by an
arbitrary amount. For gtk apps the amount is specified by the toolkit,
for mozilla it's customizable through preferences.
