Is there a way to change the scroll wheel sensitivity? On my system, everything scrolls way too fast for it to be usable.

I feel sheepish...
@corenominal and porkpiehat
Thanks for your help! It is not unappreciated.

In the wiki, under the desktop section, there are instructions to modify things with obconf and rc.xml etc.
http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/configuring_rc.xml
http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/obconf
In the instructions there I am asked to go to the main menu and do something like:
Preferences → Openbox Config → Edit rc.xml.
Preferences → Openbox config → GUI Config Tool.
The preferences menu is missing.

Thanks for the reply!
I went and looked at that video I saw again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu1EzEuosZo
I am pretty sure that he is using the same version that I am.
I tried your first command. When I type it in nothing is returned. It simply takes me to a new input line. I am not sure if this means that it has returned a 0 (meaning they are the same) or that one or both of the files doesn't exist. The latter seems more likely to me because I tried to navigate to those directories and I couldn't do so in terminator or in the file browser. What seems weird to me with this is that as I was typing in the commands, tab completion worked. Will tab completion work when the files or directories are not there?
I also successfully installed pastebinit, however, upon execution I get the following response:
"THIS API HAS BEEN DISABLED. Please use pastebin's new api. http://...."
I'm not sure how to proceed from that.
Here is some more info on what my menu looks like:
When I right click on the desktop, on the menu that comes up there is "system". This is what is in the System menu: Printers, GParted, User login settings, Synaptic package manager.

I did run all of the scripts after installation.
I also went ahead and install #! on a virtual machine in my windows partition. I used the same .iso image as I did on my previous installation. I ran all of the welcome scripts there as well and the same problem persists.
I am aware that #! will be harder for me to learn but that is ok with me. I chose #! (alongside CentOS on another machine) to learn with because it is light and I want to get my hands dirty with it.

I am brand new to Linux as well as #!, so if this is trivial or obvious I beg your forgiveness.
I just installed crunchbang 10 on my laptop. Windows is on the first partition and #! occupies three partitions after that. After spending some time using the system it has become apparent to me that the main menu (the menu that comes up when you right click on the desktop) doesn't have all of the options that it should have in it. I have confirmed this by looked at some videos online of people using crunchbang. It looks like most of the missing menu entries have to do with administrative/system control things. I can launch the basic applications that come with the installation and change the wall paper but that is about it.
Thanks very much in advance for helpin me out.
