I tried it out with trusty beta 2 with exactly the same results as saucy
-- no scroll wheel operation.

However, I have found a major clue.

do:

service spice-vdagent stop

and the scroll wheel works (but cuttting and pasting and related is
broken).

and after

service spice-vdagent start

the scroll wheel stops again, but cutting and pasting works.

There is some sort of fight between spice-vdagent and the evdev xorg driver.
