Cool.  I have a Genius NetMouse with a thumb button too!

Same here.

All five of my buttons work correctly under my (admittedly, quite old)
gnome installation... although none of the gnomee apps themselves seem
to support the extra buttons.

Yes please, I imagine this is actually a gtk+ question -- I think that
it should be quite easy for a gtk guru to add the necessary widget
support for vertical scrolling on b4/b5, which would then be inherited
by all gtk apps... alternatively, it may be desirable to add a
mouse-wheel aware scrolled widget to libgnomeui in the first instance.
