My mistake.  It's actually done by holding the left and middle buttons down.  
I'm trying out a 3M Renaissance mouse, and it's not obvious which button is 
which any more!

It seems to be in all apps.  I've tested KMail, Galeon, so perhaps it's not 
KDE-specific.  After a closer look, it seems to have the same effect as using 
the Up and Down arrow keys with the shift key depressed.

I'm still searching for how to lock it in.  I know I've done it before, but 
maybe it was a bug rather than a feature.
