If you use that xinput workaround, I recommend turning off Xfce's
reverse scrolling option.  I think the xinput command reverses scrolling
for everything so if you use it with Xfce's option, some programs will
be doubly reversed.

Since it looks like this is the same problem as
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11193, I'll reassign this bug
to xfce4-settings.  I think Xfce will have to change their mouse
settings to support GTK3.
