+        * UIProcess/WebPageProxy.cpp:
+        (WebKit::WebPageProxy::sendWheelEvent):
+        (WebKit::WebPageProxy::didReceiveEvent): Don't treat wheel events as
+        starting or stopping the responsiveness timer. Wheel events usually
+        process on the event dispatch thread, which responds even if the main
+        thread is hung.
+
+        Instead, send an out-of-band ping to the main thread to verify that
+        it is still responsive and we'll be able to paint and respond to clicks
+        after scrolling.
