I really dislike the default behavior of the pointer and scroll mouse

For example if I have two applications open, and slide the mouse from
one to the other, the focus does not follow. I am okay with that,
stay with me.
In Gnome this can be changed by going to: System->Preferences->Windows
No that's not it.
You are thinking of focus-follows mouse, which is a different issue. I
have it off, and the pointer, when scrolling with the mouse wheel, is
both focusing and selecting children of unfocused windows.
Windows and mac do not exhibit this dangerous behavior. And this is
potentially dangerous. I definitely do not expect a scrolled mouse
pointer to auto focus and select widgets without a click on my part!

On my mac mini, which uses the same mouse as my fc6 (via kvm), the
scroll wheel only seems to affect sliders (pane, volume). I have yet to
see a combo box change using only the scroll wheel. This feels right to me.
Playing with FC6 and the Gimp, OO Writer, OO Impress...they all seem to
do insane things with the scroll wheel in combo boxes.
The values change and appear to be current and active yet it is a crap
shoot as to whether they actually affect the next activity. OpenOffice
in general doesn't...although the line width in Impress takes affect
right away.
Gimp seems to make all scrolled combos take effect right away.
