If I understand what you are talking about, src/keys.h has up to
Button9Mask, for example Button6Mask (1<<13) so 0x2000 (there is a
patch to add buttons 10-13). Looking in X11/X.h I see Sawfish's
Button8Mask has the same value than X.h's AnyModifier, and biggest
official one is 5. I also see other WM also had issues with 5+.

So in general, this needs a really deep inspection, maybe looking how
toolkits are handling such big number of buttons when X11 core only
prodives 5.
