Comment(by tahonermann):

 I finally discovered that the Synaptic driver can be configured to send
 different types of messages depending on the class name of the target
 window.
 The file for configuring this is named 'tp4table.dat' (perhaps
 'tp4scrol.dat'
 depending on the version of the driver).  On my system, this file is
 installed
 in 'C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP'.  To determine the installation
 location,
 open 'Device Manager', right click on 'ThinkPad UltraNav Pointing Device',
 and
 select 'Properties'.  Click on the 'Driver' tab and select 'Driver
 Details...'

 I added the following lines to my 'tp4table.dat' file:

     ; GTK+
     *,*,*,gdkWindowTopLevel,*,gdkWindowChild,WheelStd,0,9

 A reboot is required for the changes to take affect (or, you can terminate
 the
 'SynTPEnh.exe' process in Task Manager and restart it from the
 installation
 location)

 Scrolling now works for me - most of the time anyway.  Sometimes, I need
 to
 drag the scroll bar briefly before scrolling with the touchpad/trackpoint
 works
 correctly - I'm not sure why, seems to me likely to be a problem in Pidgin
 or
 GTK+ (I'm using GTK+ 2.12.6 - ancient, I know)
