I've partially solved this.  The first button consistently reports a 
button 9 event.  When button 9 is being held, pushing the second button 
reports a button 8 event.  Pushing the second button by itself produces 
a KeyPress event for Shift_L, another for Meta_L, then a KeymapNotify 
that probably clears the Shift modifier, then KeyReleases event for 
ISO_Left_Tab and Meta_L.  Which is interesting but not particularly 
useful.  I still don't know where buttons 6, 7, and 10 are on this 
thing.
