Bug Description

I have a mouse with additional buttons for 'back' and 'forward', for example to use when browsing. When I use these in the software center they are treated as normal, left click, button events. It would be nice if those buttons could be used to go back/forwards in the software center.

The back/forward buttons do work in firefox, so this is not a problem with my mouse/driver sending the wrong events.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or more of a wishlist thing, feel free to tag it as you see fit.
Thanks
