i enabled Natural Scroll for my mouse as follows with labwc...
$ cd ~/.config/labwc
$ cp rc.xml rc.xml-orig (Note: created a backup, just in case)
$ sudo nano rc.xml
There are just two lines in the file. The second line is composed of a number of initialization commands and is very long. I inserted the string to enable naturalScroll within this line as follows:
The string I entered - <naturalScroll>yes</naturalScroll>
I entered it near the end of the second line between <leftHanded>no</leftHanded> and </device></libinput></openbox_config> with no spaces before or after. I rebooted and natural scroll works!
I was surprised to see that the command "$ libinput list-devices" still shows Nat.scrolling as disabled. I think that the way I did it is only for my user not system-wide. Perhaps editing /etc/xdg/labwc/rc.xml would be another way to handle it, but that is a more complex file to tackle.
