Here's a handy binding if you're doing something else with your left hand 
(such as combing your hair or poking someone with a stick)

   <context name="Icon">
     <mousebind button="Up" action="Press">
       <action name="SendToDesktopPrevious"/>
     </mousebind>
     <mousebind button="Down" action="Press">
       <action name="SendToDesktopNext"/>
     </mousebind>
<!-- ... eventually other things here -->
   </context>
