Aside from its lack of support for switching desktops via the scroll wheel, neap is perfect for my needs. I've attached a patch which remedies the problem.

Hey Stephan,

thank you very much for your valuable addition! I incorporated the patch into neap and put up a new version, 0.5.1, for download.

Now that there are already a few people who actively contribute to neap, I want to set up a wiki page which lists them. Is it ok for you if I put your name there?

Feel free. Just one more thing that'll show up if potential employers google me.
