Probably not if it does not use multiple keyboard groups.  Sawfish
support for more than five mouse buttons is a bit flaky because it
uses modifier bits internally to represent mouse buttons.  In
particular, modifier bits 13 and 14 are used by Sawfish to represent
buttons 6 and 7 whereas X uses the same bits to represent keyboard
groups.  X uses bits 8-12 to represent the first five buttons but does
not assign modifier bits to higher numbered buttons.
