That's true.  I guess the scroll button could change both
image-scaling-factor and text-scale-mode-amount...  But, on the other
hand, I could definitely see people preferring to change just one or the
other.  So perhaps there should be separate commands that people can
bind according to their preference?

Makes sense to me.
