Increasing scroll-speed in Midori?

I like the Midori browser because of it's speed and features, but the one thing that keeps me from using it is the slow mouse scrolling speed. In Firefox I usually override the system-wide scroll speed with 'mousewheel.withnokey.numlines 6, mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines false' in about:config, but for Midori there doesn't seem to be such a setting. I increased the system-wide scroll setting like this:

cp  /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/

in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi I put:

<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
    (...)
    <merge key="input.x11_options.VertScrollDelta" type="string">6</merge>
</match>

After restarting hal the command below shows the changed, vertScrollDelta rate, and  I see the effect in other apps, and but not in Midori.

UDI=$(hal-find-by-capability --capability input.mouse)
lshal -u $UDI

Any ideas?
