Oops, it's actually gtk-enable-animations.

The only Gtk application I've seen to date to perform smooth scrolling is the gnome-about dialog. It doesn't respect the gtk-use-animations setting. Grepping through the gtk source, this setting is used to decide whether or not to animate smaller animations, such as expanding the tree view or sliding a toolbar item etc.

Considering this, gtk-enable-animations might not be appropriate to control whether or not to enable smooth scrolling.
