FYI:  Just returned the "Comfort Wireless Combo (Wave)" keyboard/mouse and
purchased the same model to see if this was a bad mouse.  Nope! The
Logitech M705 mouse wheel does not play well with Linux.  Logitech support
implicitly confirmed it's targeted at Windows/Mac users.  Even for those
users, their website has complaints.  Would be a reasonable package; but
this flaw makes it a non-starter.
