Catching mouse buttons in an extension

[Neil Bird <gnome fnxweb com>]

  I miss being able to use the mouse-wheel on a window title to control 
its shade state;  would it be possible to implement this via an 
extension?  Where ought I to look?

  I'd need to be able to catch mouse buttons 4&5, and also know that 
they were occurring over the title bar.

  I'm also currently using xbindkeys to map a thumb button on my mouse 
to trigger overview mode, so if I'm in an extension mapping mouse 
buttons, that would be useful to include as well (to save a very minor lag).


  Is there somewhere in particular I should be looking for what sort of 
things I could do in an extension?  So far I've been scrabbling around 
in existing extensions, the GIR XML binding specs., and occasionally 
gnome-shell's source itself, but it's not optimal.

  Everyone one else on the list (hello Amy!) seems to be able to 
perform small amounts of magic ...
