The way this should work is via a GtkSetting. It needs to be made a
GtkSetting at the GTK+ level, then that's hooked up in the GDK backend
via:

gboolean gdk_setting_get (const gchar *name,
                          GValue      *value);

and by sending events of type GdkEventSetting when that changes.

Right now a couple of things are hooked up for the getter, but the
events aren't sent, so changes on the fly don't work.

A) A suggestion of what the GtkSetting should be for scroll 
   speed.

B) A patch to implement that in the Win32 backend.

Would certainly be appreciated.
