This is great news, but should this bug be closed?  This bug is not just about
getting the mouse buttons recognized.  In fact, this was *already* possible
with programs like imwheel and keyboard button mapping in KDE.

The real point behind this bug is to make it very, very easy to have users
assign these buttons in KDE to useful functions.  That is, a button to change
forward/backwards through your desktops, a button to move a window
forward/backwards through desktops, a button to shade/unshade windows, and so
on.

As far as I know, this functionality is not in KDE as of yet.  So, this bug
should remain open I'd assume.

(not faulting people for the enthusiasm, but the front end existing in KDE to
configure this functionality is more than 1/2 of what this bug was about...)

So, put again, how can upstream resolve a bug that has to do with KDE having a
friendly GUI to incorporate extra buttons -> window manager operations?
