mouse weirdness sort of solved (was: re: my debian machine)

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.
