  Ah, as it happens, I was actually referring to the “back” button on 
the side, that's the thumb one in my head :-)

  I use the bottom “thumb” button (“apps/windows” icon) for the 
gnome-shell overview (as well as the Windows key or <Alt-F1>).

  I have:

<~/.xbindkeysrc>
# GNOME Shell overview
"xdotool key 'Super+F1'"
release + b:10

# Raise-lower - DOS key
"xdotool key 0x1008FF5A"
b:8


.. running xbindkey at startup (another .desktop file in autostart).

  Then dconf has the setting:
[org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings]
raise-or-lower=['DOS']

  .. so I have the bottom thumb button for overview [toggle] and the 
wheel-click button becomes raise-lower (b:8 a that's what I swapped with 
b:2).  Just for example.

  I picked “DOS” as a raw unused key, since I was having issues with 
raise-lower defined against a modified-key (say <Alt-Ctrl-L>) and 
xbindkey+gnome-shell.  It often seemed to give out odd control sequences 
to the current window upon first trigger instead of being picked up as a 
key mapping.  Dunno why.  Other meta mappings work, like the overview one.
