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?
