Daniel tells me - and the patch in mozilla backs this up - that X can't tell the
difference between horizontal scrolling and buttons 6 and 7 being clicked. Thus,
were we to resolve this bug as you desire, we'd break all the people that use
those mouse buttons.

Agree this is a bug, but because of the former point, it's very low priority.
