Mouse buttons aren't bound to actions globally, but in each
individual program.   I think the easiest way to get what
you want would be:
        xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 4 5 2"

i.e. change the mouse button mappings to:

        Actual button           Reported button
            1                        1
            2                        3
            3                        4
            4                        5
            5                        2

so that then the default bindings work as expected.   You'ld
have to re-run that every time you login - I'm not sure what
file GNOME provides for putting commands like that in.
