In WebKitGtk, if I hold down the shift key and scroll the mouse wheel, the window should scroll horizontally. (This would be consistent with the behavior in GNOME/GTK applications such as Evince and gedit.)
By the way, this bug was originally reported in Epiphany at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731914
