When using the mouse wheel to scroll the source DDD moves it the other way around with respect to all other applications!
Is there a way to swap the source scrolling with respect to the mouse wheel movement? Is there a way to make mouse scrolling faster ( i.e. more than one line per wheel step movement)?

Thank you in advance.

Yeah, this is something that's annoyed me for a while!

The behaviour of the mousewheel is configured at the Motif level.
Add the following lines to the end of your ~/.Xresources:

*XmText.Translations: #override\n\
        <Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>: scroll-one-line-up()scroll-one-line-up()scroll-one-line-up()scroll-one-line-up()\n\
        <Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>: scroll-one-line-down()scroll-one-line-down()scroll-one-line-down()scroll-one-line-down()\n

(Font shrunk to ensure that this is exactly three lines, on my display anyway.
Be careful if yours wraps...)

Then do

xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

Your display manager should do this automatically the next time
you log in.

Then try the mouse wheel in DDD.

Take a look at http://colas.nahaboo.net/mouse-wheel-scroll/
for more information.  If you're feeling generous, generate a
patch to http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/ with this information,
and I'll apply it.
