Only Y-axis scrolling is supported in Tk :(

I believ this is not entirely correct. Try:

package require Tk
pack [text .t -wrap none]
.t insert end [string repeat "abc " 50]
# now focus in.t and try shift + mouse wheel --> x-axis scroll

That's using the same wheel for both dimensions.  What I should have said is that for mouse devices have a separate X-axis mechanism (tilt wheel or roller ball for example) there is no Windows mechanism to get these events in Tk currently that I am aware of.  For Linux, button-6 and button-7 handle these events.
