Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs When a Konsole window has the focus, the mouse wheel has no effect anymore in the desktop pager.
I was not able to reproduce this here. Possibly the same cause as your bug #183436?
Here is a screenshot of my desktop: anywhere the cursor is (on the window border, on the panel...), the mouse wheel will scroll the konsole contents. I had this bug on KDE 3.5.10 too.

> I had this bug on KDE 3.5.10 too. Maybe it is a window management setting somewhere. Does this happen if you run a different window manager? eg. Install metacity and then run: metacity --replace& From a terminal.
By using xfwm (the XFCE window manager) instead of kwin, it changes nothing.
The bug is there in KDE 4.3.2.
It works fine for me using Gentoo system. Can you provide anything special with your setup?
My system is a Mandriva 2010.0 installed from scratch, with a clean user account created from scratch too. I didn't configure anything special in KDE related to the mouse except the cursor theme and the mouse accelaration. Restoring them to the default value changes nothing. I have one more information: if a Konsole terminal has the focus, then it catches all mouse wheel events (I see the terminal text scrolling), even if the mouse cursor is not in the Konsole window.
I looked in the Mandriva 2010.0 source RPM of kdebase 4.3.2. None of their patches change anything in the konsole source code.
Another information: an embedded konsole inside Dolphin does not catch wheel events outside of the terminal window.
The bug is still there on KDE 4.4.0
The bug is still there in KDE 4.4.1.
Bug fixed in KDE 4.4.3.
