more than 5 mouse buttons

[James Weatherall]

Hi Hendrik,

If I remember correctly, the X11 protocol supports only five "buttons"
natively, being left, middle, right, mousewheel-up & mousewheel-down.  VNC
technically supports an additional three to make a total of eight, but they
are unlikely to work with X11.

Cheers,
