Xorg 7.0 problems after upgrade.[solved]

Hello, after updading to Xorg 7.0 I'm unable to configure my mouse scroll properly. Here's the relevant fragment of xorg.conf file:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option        "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option        "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

I also tried setting protocol to auto as well as changing Z axis  to 6 7. Nothing happened.

Also, KDE "k"omplains that it's unable to load taskbar and panel applets. There are no icons on the root window, no context menu, etc.

Please help.

Thanks hipsis, this solved the missing icons on the desktop and set me on track of solving the missing applets problem. Turned out they needed libXcomposite.so.1, so pacman -S libxcomposite reenabled them. No mouse scroll was due to me not restarting X after changing config file. Works too. Seems I'm a happy Xorg7.0 user now :-)
