I used cursor coordinates (instead of window center) when zooming in/out by scrollwheel with Shift. So you can position mouse over any object and zoom into it without moving mouse. But I can't test it as I don't have a wheel mouse. Could anyone with a wheel mouse please test it?

This doesn't seem to work exactly. I hope I am understanding what you are implementing exactly.
The usability of this would be to be drawing a complex shape and while drawing with the line/freehand tool, one could hit shift and use the scrollwheel and be able to zoom closer into where your mouse pointer is at on screen. Try just that and it won't work.
Oh wait, you don't have a scrollwheel mouse. Can't you grab one from a neighbor or something?
This is a super-cool functionality that would help mucho.
Oh BTW, this functionality I just described works great on a scrollwheel, 3-button mouse by clicking (not scrolling-wheel) the middle button and being able to zoom closer/further from what is being drawing.

The proposed* Gnome Human interface guidelines say:
Ctrl-scrollwheel-up should zoom into the window or control under the mouse pointer, and Ctrl-scrollwheel-down should zoom out. Zooming in this way should not move keyboard focus to the window or control being zoomed.
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/draft_hig_new/input.html#mouse-b...
Please use keybindings consistantly. Please use Ctrl+Wheel for Zooming instead of Shift+Wheel.
Your suggestion is a little confusing so perhaps I am misunderstanding your intentions but I am just asking that you be careful.
Sincerely

* guess who proposed them ... they are consistant with plenty of existing software. (I'll eat crow if Adobe Illustrator does this inconsistantly)
