Can it be that the fix stopped working in a later package? I have the same problem as described above, although I'm using buttons 6 and 7 (scroll wheel left/right) to switch between workspaces.

Status in Compiz: Fix Committed Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This is in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty beta. Using CompizConfig Settings Manager I have assinged functions to my mouse's buttons 8 and 9 (the thumb buttons). After some recent update they stopped working, unless the desktop is focused. I would expect that if I explicitly specify a mouse button for a function, it must work globally.
