I turned off the visual effects on my laptop (system->preferences->appearance), and since then I can't switch between my desktops using the mouse wheel (but I can with key combination). While the effects was on, it worked. Does someone know why is this? Can this be a problem with some driver?

Mac OS X vs. Windows mouse wheel scrolling

as seen on Super User - Search for 'Super User'
Mac OS X determines what area to scroll by the mouse position. Windows does this by what application is active. So I thought anyway.
