An Ubuntu Annoyance

The makers of Ubuntu--or probably the Gnome desktop--decided that it would be cool if you could make multiple desktops that you can move between. They are correct. They also decided it would be cool if you could scroll between these with the mouse wheel. They are not correct. It's annoying as hell. Especially as any region of a window that doesn't accept scroll wheel messages passes them onto the desktop rather than quashes them.

The result is that I'm always scrolling my desktop when I mean to scroll my current window. I can't find any obvious way to disable this horrible behavior.
